Is there an apostrophe in journeys?
no, you only use apostrophes to show ownership, or to replace letters in shortened words.
Do both nouns need an apostrophe s to show ownership of a word?
No, only the noun that possesses something needs an apostrophe "s" to show ownership. If two nouns are jointly owning something, only the second noun takes the apostrophe "s" (e.g., "Jack and Jill's house"). However, if each noun possesses something independently, both nouns should have an apostrophe "s" (e.g., "Jack's and Jill's books").
Do you add 's to a word ending in s for ownership?
Yes, you can add an apostrophe followed by an s ('s) to show ownership for singular nouns ending in s, such as "James's car." However, for plural nouns ending in s, you only add an apostrophe after the s, like in "the students' books."
When do you use an aprostrophe behind a noun?
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.

What is the rule when adding an apostrophe's to a word to indicate possession?
To show something is possessed by one owner, add an apostrophe and the letter 's' to the owner. e.g. the cat's milk. (the milk belongs to the cat) To show possession of plural owners you usually only need to add an apostrophe as most plurals already end in 's'. If the plural doesn't end in 's' then add the apostrophe followed by the 's'.
When to use an apostrophe after the s?
A possessive apostrophe goes at the end of a word to indicate ownership by a plural subject, hence: "The boys' bike" describes two or more boys who share one bike as opposed to "The boy's bike" which means there is only one boy who owns the bike.
What is the formation of the possessive case?
In English, the formation of the possessive case typically involves adding an apostrophe and the letter "s" ('s) to the end of a noun. For example, "John's car" or "the cat's toy." However, if the noun is plural and already ends with an "s", only the apostrophe is added, such as "the cats' toys."
Correct grammar for proper names that end in s?

Do you put an apostroph s after 2 words to show ownership of the next word?
Yes, when two words jointly own a subsequent noun, you typically add an apostrophe and "s" to the last word. For example, in "John and Mary's house," the house belongs to both John and Mary. If ownership is shared by both, you only add the apostrophe to the second noun. If they own separate items, you would add 's to both, like "John's and Mary's houses."
