The (s) at he end
The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by adding -'s: cross's ( pronounced just like the plural crosses).================================================================Many people will add 's to words that end in -s, it is not always correct and never correct for words ending in -ss. The general rule is that only an apostrophe is added to words ending in -s, -z or -x. Again, for plural words ending in -s just add the apostrophe.-'s is normally only added to words that end in -s where the -s is silent, e.g.Arkansas's new Governor; Illinois's former Governor; the Marine Corps's policy.
