Do you add an apostrophe to women's?
Yes you do add an apostrophe.
If a name ends in 's' do we add an apostrophe and then another 's?
For singular nouns, you add an apostrophe and then another 's (e.g., "Jess's book"). For plural nouns that already end in 's', you just add an apostrophe (e.g., "the teachers' lounge").
What should be applied to possessives?
Possessives are formed by adding an apostrophe and the letter 's to the noun (e.g., the dog's ball). However, if the noun is plural and already ends in s, you just add an apostrophe (e.g., the dogs' ball). In the case of singular nouns ending in s, you can choose to add 's or just an apostrophe (e.g., James's car or James' car).
What is the rule when adding an apostrophe s to a word to indicate possession?
To show something is possessed by one owner, add an apostrophe and the letter 's' to the owner. e.g. the cat's milk. (the milk belongs to the cat) To show possession of plural owners you usually only need to add an apostrophe as most plurals already end in 's'. If the plural doesn't end in 's' then add the apostrophe followed by the 's'.
Where does the apostrophe go in the plural form of sheriff?
Just add an s. Apostrophes do not make words plural, just possessive.
How do you show possession in apostrophes?
To show possession using an apostrophe, add an apostrophe and an "s" ('s) after the noun. For example, "Sarah's book" signifies that the book belongs to Sarah. If the noun is already plural and ends in "s," you can just add an apostrophe after the "s," like in "the teachers' lounge."
If a name ends in 's' do we add an apostrophe and then another 's'?
Yes, when forming the possessive of a singular name that ends in 's', you can choose to either add an apostrophe followed by 's' ('Charles's car') or just an apostrophe alone ('Charles' car'). Both forms are considered correct, but make sure to be consistent in your usage.
Do you put an apostrophe after S's?
Yes, when creating the possessive form of a singular noun that ends in "s," you can either add an apostrophe followed by another "s" (S's) or just an apostrophe (S'). Both forms are considered correct.
If a last name has an s do you add apostrophe 's'?
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.
How do you punctuate a possessive noun?
A possessive noun is formed by adding an apostrophe -s to the end of a word, or just the apostrophe to the end of some nouns that already end with -s; for example:Julie's bedChase's ballthe cat's whiskersthe boss's deskthe pants' pocketsthe glass's crackthe glasses' framethe boys' bikes
How do you tell if you add an apostrophe or an apostrophe s to words to make them plural?
To make a word plural, typically just add an "s" at the end. Use an apostrophe only when indicating possession or in contractions, not for pluralization. For example, "dogs" is the plural of "dog," and "dog's" shows possession.
If you add an s to your last name to make it plural do you need to add an apostrophe also?
NO when adding an apostrophe you only use it if you're implying that its something they ownEX 1That was Aj's phone!EX 2That phone was Aj's!The Wrong WAYThat phone was Ajs!
