You add 's
To show possession for a last name ending in "z," you still add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s). For example, for the last name "Gomez," you would write "Gomez's car" to show possession.
To make a last name that ends in "y" plural, you typically change the "y" to "ies" and add an apostrophe "s." For example, if the last name is Murphy, the plural form would be Murphies'.
I have noticed that many persons whose last name ends in -ey are of Irish extraction. For example Raney, Ulrey, Bailey, etc. This is entirely anecdotal,based only on my personal observation.
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).
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.
Yes, you can use an apostrophe s to show possession even if the name ends in Z.
*assuption* treat like an s i.e.: ¨He left Mr.Zezyz' lunch back in the bus.¨
To show possession with the last name Sims, you would add an apostrophe followed by an "s" after the name. For example: "the Sims' car" or "Mr. Sims's house."
Yes an apostrophe is needed after the letter z of a person's last name if it indicates a possession. Example: Jessica Sanchez' golden voice.
To make a last name that ends in "y" plural, you typically change the "y" to "ies" and add an apostrophe "s." For example, if the last name is Murphy, the plural form would be Murphies'.
Sarah Mclachlan Possession
You can either add an apostrophe followed by an additional s (e.g., Charles's book) or just an apostrophe after the s (e.g., Charles' book). Both forms are considered correct, but some style guides prefer one over the other.
I have noticed that many persons whose last name ends in -ey are of Irish extraction. For example Raney, Ulrey, Bailey, etc. This is entirely anecdotal,based only on my personal observation.
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
