The word pies is a common noun and needs no apostrophe.
However, an apostrophe may be needed if you describe something belonging to the pie or pies.
The pie's filling bubbled over the crust.
The pies' strong pumpkin scent smelled glorious.
A possessive noun shows ownership. Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to a singular noun. Add s and an apostrophe (s') to a plural noun. Add an apostrophe and s ('s) to irregulare plural nouns. I hope this helps you.
This is an ambiguous point of grammar. Some people will add an apostrophe and another s, while others just use an apostrophe without another s. Personally I don't add another s. The pronunciation becomes too awkward.
An apostrophe (') is used to indicate a possessive noun.Singular nouns that do not end with -s, add an apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the word:apple-> apple'sboy-> boy'schild-> child'sSingular nouns that do end with -s have two accepted ways of forming the possessive:Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word: boss' Add an apostrophe s ('s) after the existing s at the end of the word: boss'sPlural nouns that do end with -s, add an apostrophe (') after the ending -s:apples-> apples'boys-> boys'bosses-> bosses'Plural nouns that do not end with -s form the possessive the same as singular nouns that do not end with -s, add an apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the word:children-> children'speople-> people'smice-> mice's

If the plural noun has possession, indicate it by using an apostrophe after the S.
If the word is singular then you put the apostrophe before the s. If it is plural then put it after the s. A word does no have a apostrophe in the possessive if it is a pronoun, example: his or hers.
To show something is possessed by one owner, add an apostrophe and the letter 's' to the owner. e.g. the cat's milk. (the milk belongs to the cat) To show possession of plural owners you usually only need to add an apostrophe as most plurals already end in 's'. If the plural doesn't end in 's' then add the apostrophe followed by the 's'.
The possessive is formed for plural nouns ending in -s by adding an apostrophe (') after the ending -s. Examples:boys; boys' (The boys' locker room is at the end of this hall.)countries; countries' (There was a meeting of the countries' delegates in Geneva.)pies; pies' (All of the pies' crusts are burned.)
Yup. If a name ends in "s," you just add an apostrophe s to make it plural. Examples: James's son Tonks's wand Crookshanks's tail
No. Apostrophe is used to show ownership or constractions but not to show plurarity.
Apostrophes never form a plural.
