All English possessive singulars are formed by adding -'s: bus's. Singulars already ending in -s acquire a syllable along with the -'s, so that bus's is pronounced "busses."
You can add an apostrophe before the "s" in the word "bus" to show possession, like in "bus's schedule." However, some style guides may also accept "bus' schedule" without the additional "s" after the apostrophe.
To show possession for a word ending in s, you can add an apostrophe followed by another s ('s) or simply an apostrophe ('). Which one to use depends on style guides; both are acceptable.
To form the possessive of a singular noun, you usually add an apostrophe followed by the letter "s" ('s) to the noun. For example, "dog's bone" or "Jennifer's book." If the noun already ends in "s," you can either add just an apostrophe or an apostrophe followed by another "s," depending on the style guide you follow.
The apostrophe in the word "Texas" is placed before the "s" to indicate possession (e.g. Texas's economy).
Apostrophes are used to show possession or ownership, indicating that something belongs to someone (e.g., the dog's bone). Apostrophes are also used in contractions to represent missing letters, such as in "can't" (can + not) or "it's" (it + is).
A possessive noun ending with "s" adds an apostrophe after the "s," like in "James' car." For possessive nouns ending with "sh," you would also add an apostrophe after the "sh," like in "Marsh's book."
