When do you put an apostrophes on an already plural word?
When it's possessing something. To clarify: The only time you use an apostrophe on a plural word is when it is a possessive plural, e.g. the children's clothes or the dogs' water dishes. In these instances, children and dogs are both already plural. Note the difference in the position of the apostrophe. If the plural ends in s, the apostrophe goes after the s. If the word itself is plural, the apostrophe goes before the s.
Should apostrophe after z followed by s?
It depends on the context. If you are indicating a possessive form, then an apostrophe is needed (e.g., "The dog's tail"). If you are indicating a plural form, generally no apostrophe is used (e.g., "They have three dogs").

What should be applied to possessives?

However, if the noun is plural and already ends in s, you just add an apostrophe (e.g., the dogs' ball). In the case of singular nouns ending in s, you can choose to add 's or just an apostrophe (e.g., James's car or James' car).
Where does the apostrophe goes if the sentence shows ownership?

If it was the (one) dog, then write the owner (the dog), add the apostrophe AFTER it (the dog') and then put an s after that (the dog's). Correct sentence: "I made the dog's breakfast."If the owner of the breakfast was several dogs, then write the plural owner (the dogs), then add the apostrophe AFTER it (the dogs'). You don't need another S. Correct sentence: "I made the dogs' breakfast."Other examples:After breakfast I made the children's beds. (several children)After lunch I painted the dog's kennel. (one dog).After school I went to the teachers' office. (several teachers)After school I went to the principal's office. (one principal)There is an exception: If a singular owner ends in an S, you usually do NOT add another S after the apostrophe (Mr Jones' car. Jesus' teachings. James' hat.)
