Apostrophes
Add apostrophe + s ('s) to show that something belongs to a person or thing: "the manager's decision", "the dog's lead". For plural nouns ending in -s, add only the apostrophe: "the students' results", "the managers' meeting". For irregular plurals (children, men, women), add 's: "the children's toys". Proper nouns ending in -s can take either form: "James's car" or "James' car" — both are acceptable.
