Yes. An apostrophe is used with the names that end with s.
Examples:
Ross' bag or Ross's bag
Cris' watch
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.
An apostrophe is used to make a noun into a possessive noun. By adding an "apostrophe s" to the end of a word, or if the word already ends with an "s", you only add the "apostrophe" after the existing "s" at the end of the word to show that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.The apostrophe or apostrophe s shows possession.
Yes, you do because the apostrophe, in this case, shows belonging. The name belongs to your mom.
It's used to subsitute a missing letter in a contraction or show ownership. Ex. don't..... used to show that the letter o is missing.____The apostrophe is also used to represent a possessive case in English, for example, the Jim's toys, Mary's books and so on. If the possessor is plural and ends in -s the apostrophe is placed after the -s, as in the boys' toys, the girls' clothes, etc. If a name ends in -s, use 's as in Charles's story. Neveruse a possessive apostrophe with the pronouns its, his, hers, ours, yours, theirs.
When a word naturally ends in an "s" then you add the possessive apostrophe after the natural "s" thus. "After driving round for a time Jo eventually found the circus' front gate."

Yes, you can use an apostrophe s to show possession even if the name ends in Z.
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."
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 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.
One Jones: "Mr. Jones's car." More than one Jones: "The Joneses' house." The rule is that you use the apostrophe at the end only when the word ends in s because it is a plural, like Joneses. Otherwise you form the possessive with an apostrophe and an s whether or not the word ends in s. NEVER EVER use an apostrophe to form a plural.
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).
