Where do you put the apostrophe in Parents?

You don't need an apostrophe in "Parents".

Here's why:

* Apostrophes for possession: Apostrophes are used to show possession (ownership) of something. For example, "the child's toy" means the toy belongs to the child.

* Plural nouns: "Parents" is already the plural form of "parent". It refers to more than one person.

However, you would use an apostrophe if you were referring to something belonging to parents:

* The parents' car (The car belongs to the parents)

* The parents' meeting (The meeting is for the parents)
