Regarding A Class Question

Hi! If you recall from our class yesterday, there was a question regarding how to make a word ending with "s" possessive. For example, we talked about things that could belong to someone named Carlos or Phylis (my mom's name). 

Apparently, I was correct: there are two ways of making those possessive: by either adding and apostrophe+s, or simply an apostrophe. So, we could say:

Carlos's car or Carlos' car  OR  Phylis's children or Phylis' children

You can find a much more extensive explanation, including more tips for using apostrophes in general, here, here, and here.

Have a great Sunday!
