Can someone please explain the difference between others' and other's. For example in this statement "I care about others feelings" which would go here others' or other's?

Answer:

Others' it shows that you're talking about more than one. Other's shows a specific person or thing. I hope this helped.

Answer:

In your sentence others' would be correct to use.

's is used to show ownership to one person, s' is used to show ownership to many people.

For example if I said this is the boy's dog, that means the dog belongs to the boy. If I said this is the boys' dog, that would mean it belongs to a group of boys.
