Where do I put the apostrophe??

Question

Ok, so here's an example. I have a friend named Lucas. If I want to show that something is his, do I say Lucas's? Or is it lucas'? I'm confused! lol

Answer 1

you say Lucas's..the only time you would put the apostrophe after the s is if the noun was plural..such as my friends' project..I hope I helped..

Answer 2

Either is correct.  

Answer 3

Both forms are correct.

Lucas is a proper name. In this case there is no singular/plural confusion generated by 's' ending words, so the second form can be used without causing ambiguity. The first form is the most grammatically correct but presents a pronunciation heaviness.

Answer 4

Lucas' is the correct way.

Answer 5

i dont know .. it shows possesion so i think its lucas's

i dont remember grade 1 english.  

Answer 6

lucus'

Answer 7

Anything that is plural for examples:

My parents ---> My parents'

Any name that ends with the consonant "s," you just add the apostrophe.

Chris --> Chris'  

Answer 8

You can do it either way: Lucas' problems; Lucas's violin, etc.

The only thing you need to remember is to be consistent throughout whatever you're writing. In other words, don't say Lucas' on a couple of occasions and Lucas's on others.
