Apostrophe + S, after S (English Spelling)

Very good explanation. Some more written examples, I guess, might have been very helpful for the audience. For instance, when mentioning John's, writing it down on the board would have been great.

The video is great, the explanation is very good, and I appreciate it a lot. Commendable.

Thank you for the lesson. I think it might be more helpful to people like me if you used more examples and less words about words. When you use terms like "third person singular" and "singular possession" my brain goes into hibernation. I realize this is due to my own ignorance but isn't it people who have difficulty with the language you're trying to reach? I do appreciate the effort.

You mentioned consistency, but does that mean consistency with just the same name or noun, or does it mean all nouns must follow the same rule?

For example, I am writing a book with names like Canis, Talis, Aves, Cyrus, Ursus, Lastilla, Aventil

So if I use s' for Canis' does that mean I have to use it for Aves'? Or I have Lastilla's so I'll have to do Canis's?

I guess it would just be easier to always use 's and let the reader decide how to pronounce it.

Can I say:

"Jones' s visiting Canada"

Is that right. I know that is not possessive.. .is the contraction of the verb TO BE.

[shiningstars109]

No. It would be "Jones is visiting Canada." That contraction doesn't work in that situation.

@fearzone2000

why not just say,

"Jones is visiting Canada."

why are you making Jones possessive of visiting???
