You ask yourself why there is an s at the end of the word you are making possessive. Does it end in an s because it is a plural? Are we talking about beans or foxes or throat lozenges or ideas? Then you use s' and write beans' sauce, foxes' pups, throat lozenges' taste or ideas' coherence. Or is the s at the end of the word just because it is a word or name which ends in s? Are we talking about a glass or Jones or a bonus or Hoss? Because then you use s's and write a glass's volume, Jones's house, the bonus's amount or Hoss's hat.
