If the last name is plural or singular, ends in s or any other letter, it will always end in apostrophe s if it is signifying possession.
Example:
The Jones's house
The Johnson's place
In "workers' comp," the apostrophe should come after the "s" to indicate that the compensation is intended for multiple workers. This is the possessive form of "workers," showing that the compensation belongs to the workers.
No, "relatives" does not have an apostrophe. An apostrophe is only used when showing possession or contracting words. For example, "relative's house" or "can't" for "cannot."
If there are multiple bowls, you would say:The cat bowls are on the floor.If there is one cat bowl, you would say:The cat's bowl is on the floor.
no, because the word 'his' is already showing ownership :)
Use an apostrophe if you want to show possession. Example: grandma's garden
The full wording is "of the clock" so the apostrophe is showing that some characters have been omitted.
The apostrophe in "rhinoceros" to show possession should go after the "s", making it "rhinoceros'".
I am an English major. If you are not showing possession, then there is no apostrophe. You are just showing plurality of your family. Therefore, The Cokers is correct. Oddly enough, most of the cards I receive, use the apostrophe and I always think, "This is not showing possession"..haha:)
The apostrophe in "Fido's" indicates possession, showing that the collar belongs to Fido. It is used to show that something is owned or associated with a person or thing.
Yes. The phrase means the honorees of this year.
To show possession, add apostrophe s: county's.
"Our neighborhood has a moms' club." The apostrophe after "moms" indicates possession, showing that the club belongs to the moms in the neighborhood. It's important to use the apostrophe to clarify this meaning.
