's or s's
Hi,
I am not so sure about the rule in using apostrophe for words with "s" as their last letter.
For example:
1. Despite his parents’ tacit approval, he is still not so sure with the decision he takes.
2. He surrenders to Thanatos's touch.
Am I using the apostrophe correctly in those two sentences?
Thanks, AL

AlpheccaStarsOKSo then I must use s's for names and s' for plural form?

avid learnerSo then I must use s's for namesIt all depends on the name and whether the 's is pronounced as a new syllable.
