<human>: I've always been a little confused about what the difference is between a hyphen and an apostrophe. Can you help?
<bot>: I can try, but it might be better if we break down each of these terms to understand them better. A hyphen (-) is a punctuation mark that connects two words or parts of a word together. An apostrophe (') is also a punctuation mark, but it's used to show possession. For example, in the sentence "The dog ate my homework," the apostrophe would indicate that the dog ate your homework.
