To make a word plural, typically just add an "s" at the end. Use an apostrophe only when indicating possession or in contractions, not for pluralization. For example, "dogs" is the plural of "dog," and "dog's" shows possession.

A surname is a proper noun. The possessive forms for proper nouns follow the same rules as common nouns:Possessives are formed by adding an apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the word, or just an apostrophe (') to then end of plural nouns that already end with -s. Examples:Mr. Brown's house, or the plural: the Browns' house.Ms. Bass's house, or the plural: the Basses' house.Mr. Cruz's house, or the plural: the Cruzes' house.Since surnames do not have irregular plural forms, a plural surname will always end with an -s; the plural possessive form will always end with -'s.

An 's preceded by an apostrophe ('s) indicates possession or contraction (e.g., John's book, it's raining). An s followed by an apostrophe (s') is used for plural possessives where the noun is already plural (e.g., the girls' toys).
