The most convenient and straightforward way to show possession is the adding of an apostrophe. But the letter "s" may or may not be added after the apostrophe, depending upon the habitual way in which the speaker says the word in question. For example, the tendencies are no extra sound in the cases of the dog's food and the dogs' food, but extra sound in the case of Chris's books.
