Yes, same here. And told me I was almost correct. The same happens with these English apostrofes in plural when learning other languages as well.

If you write parent's, however, the answer is rightly rejected, but parents (with no apostrophe) is accepted as correct.
I still can't see any pattern in how Duolingo treats punctuation marks; a little earlier I had an answer in the German course rejected for leaving out a question mark (which has never happened before to me). I wish it were consistent.

Why "dům svých rodičů" rather than "dům rodičů"? Is "svých" optional or required? Would it make a difference if the house were one that the parents owned but didn't live in?

Your audio portion frequently does not work. Lately when I tap" can't listen now" I'm scored an error & lose a heart. Before I could continue after being told audio would be back in an hour. Now I'm completely stymied.
