The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by the addition of -'s. Possessive singulars always sound like plurals in -s. In the case of singular nouns already ending in -s, Morris, for example, the possessive has one more syllable, just as the plural does, so that Morris's is pronounced just like Morrises.

Some think and even teach that singulars in -s may form the possessive as if they were plurals, by adding the apostrophe alone. This is wrong, since the apostrophe has no sound, and cannot add the syllable needed. For example, the incorrectly spelled Russ' must be pronounced Russ, not Russes, and therefor it cannot be the correct possessive singular of Russ.

If the name of the owner ends in an s or z then you just put a apostrophe at the end
