When the word is a possessive regular plural. If you make the word plural by adding an s, this is regular, and then if you want to make it possessive you'd add the apostrophe.
For instance:
The dancers' costumes were brilliant.
This is an ambiguous point of grammar. Some people will add an apostrophe and another s, while others just use an apostrophe without another s. Personally I don't add another s. The pronunciation becomes too awkward.
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).
Same as any other use. Use an apostrophe S to indicate possession.
No, only use an apostrophe when using a contraction or a possessive
ordinary noun - boy possessive noun - boy'splural noun - boys possessive noun boys'for plural nouns put the apostrophe after the s.z sound - cruise. Possessive is cruise's - add apostrophe + s same as above.The grammar rule is:1. All English nouns form the possessive singular by adding 's, for example cruise's and boss's.2. All English plural nouns ending in s form the possessive by adding the apostrophe alone, for example cruises' and bosses'.Never use the apostrophe alone with a singular ending in s. If you think Socrates's wife looks wrong, use "the wife of Socrates" and NOT Socrates' wife. The only exception is the names Jesus and Moses, which MAY be represented in the possessive with the apostrophe alone.

If you are indicating possession (Achilles' heal) use an apostrophe at the end of the word. If you are simply stating his name, there is no apostrophe.
Same as any other use. Use an apostrophe S to indicate possession.
Geez. Can't you guys get your GRAMMAR CORRECT!!?? you need to put an apostrophe "s" after the montana!!!
Yes, there can be either apostrophe s ('s) or just an apostrophe (') at the end of the word.
No.To show possession we usually use apostrophe s ('s). So your sentence should be written like this: They had a fight over Holly's toy.
Use the apostrophe right after the letter s: fighters'
Use an apostrophe s to indicate possession.Example:Gibson's guitar strings broke last night.
Use an apostrophe only (without the s) to the word parents if it indicates possession. Example: parents' house
No, only use an apostrophe when using a contraction or a possessive
