what is the proper way???

Question

when writting how shoud you show something is possive if it ends in the letter S?
Eample: Meyers's sum use's a apostrophe S but this guy I met said his last name ends in SS so to show possesion he uses just a apostrophe at the in like if you said Guiness' brewery

Answer 1

Anytime you use a possessive {-s} after a noun that end in the sound [s] or [z], the apostrophe occurs after the s. So actually, according to "standard English" it should be Meyers' or Chris'.

Answer 2

The proper possessive is apostrophe-s, and simply adding an apostrophe when the noun ends in s already. Some people reserve the s-apostrophe ending for plurals only, so that singular nouns ending in s add an additional apostrophe and then s again in the possessive form.

Adding only an apostrophe after a z is only done in the U.K. any more. In other English-speaking regions, it's usually z-apostrophe-s.

Answer 3

yes that is correct if something ends in s you just put an apostroph at the end to show ownership. like you would say "Jesus' love covers all sins"...etc

Answer 4
