For all singular nouns, form the possessive by adding 's. Louis >> Louis's James >> James's Karen >> Karen's Frank >> Frank's ________________ There are a few exceptions which you will rarely encounter: Jesus', Moses', Socrates', Demosthenes', Xerxes', etc. -- in other words, the names of "the ancients" which end in "s".
