"The squirrel's were on the lawn" is wrong, and always has been,

Except as in:
Where are the nuts?
The squirrel's are on the lawn.

Hello everyone,
No the squirrels's are on the lawn, at least this morning they were/was.
the nuts have been buried.
I must admit I got it wrong abouit where the little squiggle went in words
not plurals I remember now.
must have been all that chalk going around at school affecting my memory.
I dont need chalk and blackboard now , i use my fingers and if i need any
more i count on my toes.
regards
Cineman,
