The apostrophe has three uses, but we are going to focus only in one:
To form possesive nouns.
To see if you need to make a possessive, turn the phrase around and make it an "of the..." phrase. For example:
Once you've determined whether you need to make a possessive, follow these rules to create one.
- add 's to the singular form of the word (even if it ends in -s):
the owner's car
James's hat (James' hat is also acceptable. For plural, proper nouns that are possessive, use an apostrophe after the 's': "The Eggleses' presentation was good." The Eggleses are a husband and wife consultant team.) - add 's to the plural forms that do not end in -s:
the children's game
- add ' to the end of plural nouns that end in -s:
two cats' toys
- add 's to the end of compound words:
my brother-in-law's money
- add 's to the last noun to show joint possession of an object:
Todd and Anne's apartment
I chose this topic because we were confused in class.
Ps. Teacher both were okay, James's and James'.
This was my favorite quote of the week by far.

It feels so good to be right!! I knew it, I wasn't lying when I said that the double S was acceptable when the noun ended with S as well. This information is excellent! you should, by the way, take this information into a video blogg,it'll be nicer and more enterteining. Give it a try someday! Nonetheless great idea of this entry ! It's pretty useful! :) Grade: A
