An apostrophe (’) and an 's' are used at the end of a noun when the noun is singular. If the noun is plural or if the word ends in an 's', then only the apostrophe (’) is used. For example, if Jason was changed to James, rather than it being 'James’s sister', it should be written as 'James’ sister'. The second 's' is not needed here.
