The statement from within this list that is false is:

Pronouns are spelled with apostrophes.

We should not confuse the apostrophe used in possessive form after a noun, for example, with the possessive pronouns. There are two types of these pronouns:

  1. Absolute: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.
  2. Ajectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their.

None of these take an apostrophe.
