Ok, thank You CalifJim. But when we add 's to nouns that ends " /s/ " sound. it is difficult to pronounce the 's.
For example ....
It's easy to pronounce Ali's. But it's difficult to pronounce Candice'

sunny123But it's difficult to pronounce Candice's and boss's?
No, it's not difficult, because you add a little vowel sound so the 's sounds like the word "is" when you say it.

boss's = boss + iz
Candice's = Candice + iz
Charles's = Charles + iz
