How would you denote possession in names ending with an s such as Alexis?
To denote a singular (one) possession you would simply add an apostrophe after the "s" and add another "s" (s's). If it were a plural possession you would simply apply an apostrophe after the "s".Example: Singular PossessionAlexis's stuffed animal was recently burned in the fire that destroyed her house.Example: Plural PossessionAlexis' animals were safely removed from the house during the fire.
What words can you add s to?
I don't completely understand the question. If you're asking about plural nouns, you can add an s to almost any word UNLESS they end in, s, x, ch, sh because if a word ends in s, x, ch, or sh you have to add es. If a word ins in z, you have to add zes. Some words change completely when they're plural. A few words are the same for plural and singular. For example, the plural of dog is dogs, the plural of dress is dresses, church, churches, wolf, wolves, mouse, mice, but the plural of sheep is sheep, the plural of deer is deer.
