How to spell words with apostrophes correctly
We always add -s with an apostrophe in English.
•Ronny's brother
1. Singular
Add 's to the noun.
•Mandy's brother John plays football.
•My teacher's name is ...
2. Plural
Add the apostrophe ' to regular plural forms:
•The girls' room is very nice.
•The Smiths' car is black.
Add 's to irregular plural forms:
•The children's books are over there.
•Men's clothes are on the third floor.
If there are multiple nouns, add 's only to the last noun:
•Peter and John's mother is a teacher.
If there are multiple nouns that refer to one person/thing – add 's to the last noun.
•Peter and John's mother is a teacher.
If there are multiple nouns that refer to more persons/things – add 's to both nouns.
•Susan's and Steve's bags are black.
3. Singular names ending in -s
Although it is not considered to be good English, you may add only the apostrophe words ending on
unpronounced -s
•Charles's dog – Charles' dog
•Illinois's capital – Illinois' capital
Words ending in -x and -z follow the same rules.
•Felix's car – Felix' car
But there are situations where only 's is the best choice to make the meaning clear.
