For names ending in s, form the possessive either by simply adding an apostrophe (James' books) or by adding an apostrophe as well as another s (Charles's phone). The possessive of a plural name is always formed by adding an apostrophe after the final s (the Smiths' dog, the Harrises' family home).
There are several different style guides for writing the English language. When you follow the rules of The Associated Press Stylebook, Chris' is proper. With all other style guides, Chris's is correct.
Where two or more people own one item together, place an apostrophe before an "s" only after the second-named person. For example: Incorrect: Bill's and Mary's car was a lemon, leading them to seek rescission of their contract under the state's lemon law.
Plural possessives indicate when there is more than one of a noun and show ownership of something. The possessive of most plural nouns is formed by adding an apostrophe only: Alice had two kittens. When they were playing in the kitchen, the kittens' toy went under the refrigerator.
When a noun ends in s, we make plural possessives by adding an (') only. For example: 2022 professors' books. 2022 trees' roots. 2022 diplomats' contracts.
