Where are my spectacles? | "Where are my spectacles?" is correct.
However, if you want to write in the singular, then you need to use, "Where is my pair of spectacles?"
I hope that helps.

girl's means we are talking about 1 girl
girls' means there are many girls 's means possession by sigular. eg member's opinion
but when talk about plurals there is already a s so we just suffix a apotrophe..
eg. it will be odd to say girls's book, so we omit extra s in plurals and say girls' school, members' opinions
so,1st one is correct
2nd one is wrong | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to architbhartiya For This Useful Post: | | | | | |

2nd one is wrong | Archit, I have a different opinion. According to me, both sentences are correct, however, their meanings are different.
The first one means you're pointing to a girl and saying that her school is very close to your house.
The second one means that you are pointing to a school for girls (or its ad/pic in the paper) and saying that it is located close to your house. | | | | | The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to sumitrocks For This Useful Post: | | | | | |
