punctuation pedants (its a quiz)

Let's see, the options are:

Dogs - noun plural of dog
Dogs - verb, transitive, "to dog"
Dog's - possessive singular
Dogs' - plural possessive
Dog's - contraction, "Dog is"

So I would say something like:

Dogs, Dog's dogs dogs Dog's dogs.

thanks for that list its very concisive and will help in trying to solve this, :cheers: i wouldnt have listed it so well.
there one more possibility you're missing , ill give everyone the chance to work that out before i give it.

theres one too many dogs in the sentence you gave its 5 not 6 words sorry.
in the answer indicate from 1 to 5 what the dogs mean if you get me as two types are spelt the same


eg
(non plural)(contraction) etc , its a bugger to work out what you exactly mean otherwise

It's a for fun thing that people may enjoy about punctuation, and I'm not trying to be a smartass posting it as it's not something i thought up.  I think I've worked it out, but I'm not positive.

Look a little closer at my above post, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I'm not a grammar nazi in the slightest, in fact I admit to having horrible grammar, I just found it funny that you asked a puncutation quiz question when you didn't even bother to use punctuation in your post.  It kind of takes away all credibility when your the one grading everyone elses punctuation.
