Hers or Her’s

"Hers" is a third-person singular feminine possessive pronoun. It indicates that something belongs to a female person who is not the subject of the sentence. It is essential to note that possessive pronouns do not require an apostrophe.

On occasion, "her's" written with an apostrophe is used instead of "hers," but this is always incorrect. Despite the fact that possession is often indicated by adding 's to the end of a word, this rule does not apply to possessive pronouns.
