Singular Possessive

Margie Wakeman WellsThe Apostrophe, Uncategorized Leave a Comment

Add apostrophe “s” to the singular form of the word to make it possessive — without
regard to pronunciation or spelling. This is the simplest and most consistent way to deal
with these forms.

…Mr. Wells’s car…
…one witness’s answer…
…Ms. Schwartz’s house…

Happy punctuating!
