How does one learn to use apostrophe's in the correct manner?

Apostrophes are never used to make a world plural:

Apostrophes (correct)
Apostrophe's (incorrect)

Use them if part of a word is missing:

Hello or 'ello
Terrifying or terr'fying
Telephone or 'phone

This is a good way to present accents, and slang.

If an apostrophe comes before an "S" it is representing sigular possession:

The boy's red ball

If an apostrophe comes after an "S" it represents plural possession:

The boys' red ball.

If a name ends with an "S" you may either omit the "S" or keep it, when speaking about the person possessing something. (Most omit the "S"):

Atticus' daughter

Or

Atticus's daughter.

I also forgot the instance of combining words:

It is or it's
(its is an example of singular possession without the use of an apostrophe)

Is not or isn't (ain't is also acceptable, but not proper).

Does not or doesn't

Another example of apostrophes being used in archaic language:

Happen'd (this is just an archaic version of the past-tense of Happen)

I know you are trolling, but I posted the brief English lesson regardless.
