Do we add another s for the possessive form of a name ending with s? Which is correct, Chris’s
chair or Chris’ chair? James’s car or James’ car? Actually, both ways are correct. If a proper name
ends with an s, you can add just the apostrophe or an apostrophe and an s. See the examples below
for an illustration of this type of possessive noun.

You’re sitting in Chis’ chair.

But when you have a plural noun that ends in s, add just the apostrophe. This is also true when
you have a proper noun that’s plural.
