Welcome to Polpetta's café. Today we have fresh roll's, hot soup and cold juice's, all made this morning. We are open Sunday's now, all year round. The chef's are in from six, so the bread is ready by eight. The waiters trays are polished, the ladie's from the market stall bring the olives, and our tomatoes come straight from the farm at the top of the hill. Come in, sit down and stay as long as you like.
One apostrophe is right. One word is wrong because a mark is missing, not because one has been added.

I have fixed the board. Now it says We are open Sundays' and Mondays'. I moved the apostrophes to the end, exactly as you told me.

Tell him why it is still wrong, and write him a sign where Sunday's would be right.
