From that link
| Quote: |
For singular and plural nouns that end in any letter other than s, form the possessive by adding 's:
the boy's book
the children's opinions
Plural nouns that end in s should take the s':
the Smiths' house
the dogs' kennels
When singular nouns end in s, the 's is generally used:
Dickens's novels
Nurse Jones's uniform
|
So I got it right at the start
