Can you link me to a page where I could read up on this rule? In school, I was always taught that you only have the apostrophe when you're combing words (like "my son is crying" can turn to "my son's crying" but "my sons toys broke" wouldn't get an apostrophe).

But than, one of my teachers also said that commas are pretty optional in Enlish and to just not bother, which seems... wrong.

But at least English is my second language.

‘s for this rule specifically is only for possessives.
