How to read these words in Possessive case and one more thing..?
Hello guys,
I haven't found an answer in other threads on the forum and decided to ask.
THere are 2 questions.
1) How do we read these words in the possessive form
My try
Boss's - {boseez}
Jesus' - {Jizuseez}
Is it correct?
2) We can say - I have been at Bob's.
Is it ok to say? - I have been at yours/hers/theirs/
Thanks

Thank you,
1) didn't know that there can be two options of reading - Jesus'
2) So if I want to say
I have been at yours (not correct) - I need to transfer it into - I have been at your place.
Right?
