The one that irritates me the most is the difference between it's (conjunction for 'it is'.... just say the sentence using the non conjunctive form and see if it sounds right) and its (possessive).

But yeah... plural, means no apostrophe (i.e. two dogs). Singular possessive is apostrophe before the 's'. (i.e. that dog's bone). Possessive for multiple is apostrophe after the 's'. (i.e. those dogs' home). Yeesh not hard to learn.
