Yes. For example:
" James's car broke down"
"I am going to Mr. Jones's house"
"This is Biff Liss's hat."
They are pronounced with an extra syllable at the end: Jamesez, Jonesez, Lissez.
There is one exception to this rule: the name Jesus. In "Jesus' beard was black." it is not pronounced Jezuzez nor written Jesus's.
Yes, it is common to use an apostrophe s ('s) to show possession for names ending in s, but it can vary depending on the specific style guide or personal preference.
When a name ends with an s, you can use an apostrophe followed by an s ('s) to indicate possession. For example, "Charles's book" or "James's car." However, if the name is plural and already ends with an s, you can just use an apostrophe (') to show possession, like "the girls' toys" or "the Smiths' house."
To show possession in a last name that ends in s, you generally add an apostrophe followed by another s. For example, "Jones's car" or "Williams's book." However, some style guides suggest just adding an apostrophe after the s for clarity, especially with longer names.
For singular possession, add an apostrophe followed by an s to names ending in s (e.g., James's car). For plural possession, simply add an apostrophe after the s (e.g., the Joneses' house).
Yes, when forming the possessive of a singular name that ends in 's', you can choose to either add an apostrophe followed by 's' ('Charles's car') or just an apostrophe alone ('Charles' car'). Both forms are considered correct, but make sure to be consistent in your usage.
If you are showing possession, then you use an apostrophe and an s at the end of the name...unless the name ends with an s. In that case, you only add the apostrophe. example: Tom's brother is James. James' brother is Tom.

If you are indicating possession (Achilles' heal) use an apostrophe at the end of the word. If you are simply stating his name, there is no apostrophe.
You use an apostrophe after a person's name to show possession of the object that follows the name, e.g., "This is John's hat," or "These are Mary's opinions." If the name already ends in an s, this is what you write: "This is James' magic bag." Compared to: "This is Kragen's magic bag."
If you are showing possession, then you use an apostrophe and an s at the end of the name...unless the name ends with an s. In that case, you only add the apostrophe. example: Tom's brother is James. James' brother is Tom.
To show possession after the letter z, add an apostrophe and the letter s (z's). For pluralizing a word that ends in z, add an apostrophe before the s without another s (z').
If the word ends in apostrophe s or ends in s apostrophe, then there is NO space before or after the apostrophe, but always a space before the next word.
If a name ends in S and is singular, add an apostrophe and another S ('s) to indicate possession (e.g., James's book). If the name is plural, just add an apostrophe (e.g., the Jones' house).
