An apostrophe is a punctuation mark. Use an apostrophe to show possessive before the letter S at the end of the word. An apostrophe looks like a single quote mark, but properly, like a single closing quote mark. Too many people simply add an apostrophe at the end of a word before the letter S, when they really intend to show the plural case, not the possessive case. It's not hard to learn how to use an apostrophe.
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.
This would be "people's stories" because people is already a plural noun.
If you are referring to possession, use the apostrophe: "The TV's screen was cracked." If you are referring to multiple TVs, use the plural form without an apostrophe: "There were two TVs in the living room."
Yes, there can be either apostrophe s ('s) or just an apostrophe (') at the end of the word.
The correct use of the apostrophe for a sign that reads "The Jakob's" should be "The Jakobs'" if it refers to something that belongs to multiple people named Jakob. If it refers to something belonging to one person named Jakob, it should be "The Jakob's."
An apostrophe is used to make a noun into a possessive noun. By adding an "apostrophe s" to the end of a word, or if the word already ends with an "s", you only add the "apostrophe" after the existing "s" at the end of the word to show that something in the sentence belongs to that noun.The apostrophe or apostrophe s shows possession.
If you are showing possession, then you use an apostrophe and an s at the end of the name...unless the name ends with an s. In that case, you only add the apostrophe. example: Tom's brother is James. James' brother is Tom.

Yes. An apostrophe is used with the names that end with s. Examples: Ross' bag or Ross's bag Cris' watch
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).
