O que significa 's ?
- Inglês (EUA)
It shows possession. If I say Jenny’s puppy. It means that it is her puppy. If there was no (‘), then it would make it plural.

'S is usually (not always) used to show the possessive case. For example:
My friend is John. Yesterday I went to John's house.
My friend is learning English. My friend's English is very good.
I have read that book many times. The book's pages are very worn.
The fire is very hot, but the fire's colours are very pretty.

@OldGeezer “my friend’s english” is referring to the English belonging to your friend. “Book’s pages” is referring to the pages belonging to the book. “The fire’s colors” is talking about the colors belonging to the fire. ‘S always shows possession

@Camilleon0714 Yes, that's right.
"My friend's English" means the English my friend speaks.
"The book's pages" means the pages in the book, that are parts of the book.
"The fire's colours" means the colours of the fire.
@bana_ also gave you a good answer for 's used in contractions (short forms).
"She's here" = she is here
"When's the last time you ate?" = When was the last time you ate?
"He's seen him" = he has seen him
"What's he want?" = What does he want?
