Does play have 1 or 2 syllables?

"Played" has one syllable. The ending "-ed" has no vowel (even though it is written with one), so it does not add a syllable to "play". In words ending in "t" or "d", a vowel is added before this ending, so in those cases, you do wind up with an extra syllable.

Rule 1: Words ending with a Consonant-Vowel-Consonant Pattern (Review Consonants and Vowels) One-syllable words: ED = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ED. * note ING = If the word ends in a CVC pattern, it gets a double consonant + ING. * note Examples: ED = RUB > rubbed, STOP > stopped ING = HOP > hopping, SIT > sitting *note: Words ending in w,x,y,z do not follow this rule, simply add ED, or ING Examples: snow > snowed, box > boxing, play > playing Two-syllable words: ED = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant + ED. ING = If the stress is on the first syllable, the word only gets one consonant + ING. Examples: visit > visited, open > opened happen > happening, enter > entering ED = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets a double consonant + ED. ING = If the stress is on the second syllable, the word gets a double consonant + ING. Examples: refer > referred, admit > admitted begin > beginning, permit > permitting

What is the rule for apostrophes when a word ends in s?

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
