The film shows an educational game show segment that teaches viewers about punctuation. It starts with a contestant failing to answer questions about punctuation marks, leading to an explanation of dashes and parentheses for insertions and asides within sentences. The show then delves into the uses of apostrophes, explaining their function in contractions (indicating missing letters) and in forming possessives for both singular and plural nouns, with special attention given to nouns ending in “s” sounds. The segment concludes with a contestant correctly identifying how to form possessives.
