The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by adding -'s: Bob's house; Charles's house. In the case of singular nouns already ending in -s, such as Charles, this will add a syllable to the pronunciation.
The possessive of all English plural nouns ending in -s is formed by adding the apostrophe alone, with no added syllable: The Joneses live here. It is the Joneses' house
