With an s. The apostrophe without the s is used only for plurals and the names Jesus and Moses. All other possessives take 's regardless of spelling. For example, CDSS's annual dance.

If you want to make a last name plural ending in s do you use 's or s'?
To make a last name plural that already ends in "s," simply add an apostrophe after the "s," as in "the Joneses' house." This is because the apostrophe alone signifies plural possession.
In which sentence does an apostrophe serve to indicate both possession and contraction?
"Sarah's cat's in the garden because it's her favorite spot to nap." The first apostrophe in "Sarah's" indicates possession ('the cat that belongs to Sarah'), while the second apostrophe in "it's" is a contraction of "it is."
When do you use '?
If you mean the apostrophe (the key to the right of the colon/semicolon on the keyboard), there are two uses in English: (1) It stands in the place where one or more letters have been removed to make a contraction, as "can't" for "can not." (2) It is used to make a possessive, and in "Sue's brother."
If a last name has an s do you add apostrophe 's'?
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.

What is the correct abbreviation of received?
I've sometimes used the abbreviation Rec'd. Yes, because an apostrophe indicates contraction: missing letter(s) -- in this case, the e, i, v, and last e. A writer would not want to use more than one apostrophe in a single word, hence: Recvd would logically be punctuated as: Rec'v'd -- requiring more than one apostrophe and more work than an abbrev. calls for! ;-) --Good question. Thanks for asking.

Do you write humans' or human's?
That depends on what you want to say. If you are talking about humans in the plural form, as in These are humans' caves, the apostrophe is placed after the s. If you are talking about one human, as in This is a human's cave, then the apostrophe is placed before the s. If you just want to refer to more than one human, as in This cave belongs to humans, then there will be no apostrophe.
What is the rule for using apostrophes to show possession of proper nouns ending in s?
The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by the addition of -'s. Possessive singulars always sound like plurals in -s. In the case of singular nouns already ending in -s, Morris, for example, the possessive has one more syllable, just as the plural does, so that Morris's is pronounced just like Morrises.Some think and even teach that singulars in -s may form the possessive as if they were plurals, by adding the apostrophe alone. This is wrong, since the apostrophe has no sound, and cannot add the syllable needed. For example, the incorrectly spelled Russ' must be pronounced Russ, not Russes, and therefor it cannot be the correct possessive singular of Russ.-If you want to show possession in a sentence, add an apostrophe after the owners name and then add s.Example: the cat's toyIf the name of the owner ends in an s or z then you just put a apostrophe at the endExample: Miss.
