So if I mean "until the battle is won" would it be okay to write "until the battle's won" or a version of that? I'm not sure if the apostrophe is being used right.

"Until the battle's won" = "Until the battle is won."
We use 's to indicate possession (Jo's cat) or as an abbreviation of "is" (Jo's sick) or "has" (Jo's been sick).

Hi, it's good to see you back. I saw your recent post about SEVENTEEN's new album 'Semicolon'. Can u tell me how to use a semicolon in my paper? TY in advance.

Hi. It's good to be back. Things here have changed *a lot*. 😅
A semicolon is basically a period (.); it links two complete sentences together.
For example,
• Henry is hungry; he wants to eat a burrito for dinner.
• It rarely rains in Los Angeles; Henry often wonders why he owns 12 umbrellas.

Good luck on your paper! 👍

Do you agree that good things come to those who wait?

No.

To quote a motivational poster, "Good things come to those who work their asses off and never give up."
