La s al final siempre tiene que ir un apóstrofe porque marca un posesivo es decir que el segundo ejemplo está mal por ejemplo
Maria's house
Pero si el nombre termina en s no se coloca apóstrofe por ejemplo
Nicolas book
- English (US)
De hecho si el nombre tiene S al final se agrega el apostrofe por si solo en lugar de 'S. Por ejemplo; My boss' house got set on fire by an ex co-worker.

Gracias, es que con mucha S se mira mal, por eso pregunto 🤔
- English (US)
Si, de hecho el unico proposito es el de que no se "vea mal" jaja!

Jajaja gracias es que me corrigen tanto mi escrito los profesores como en los niveles bajos tel dicen que es mejor escribir si abreviar 🙄😑
- English (US)
Es mucho mas facil aprender el idioma mejor cuando no abrevias las cosas pero en este caso no se identifica como "modernismo" el poner la apostrofe por si sola o con la letra S, simplemente es una abreviacion de "is"
- Spanish (Mexico)
Gracias por el dato eso si no sabía! Creí que era mejor si lo abreviaba 😰
- English (US)
Yo por lo general abrevio demasiado por que es mi lenguaje nativo pero te sirve mucho mas el tener buenisima gramatica y no abreviar, en especial si es para alguna clase. La mayoria de maestros te corregira si utilizas demasiadas abreviacionea modernas pero por lo general la apostrofe con o si S no se considera "mala" o gramaticamente incorrecta. Buena noche :)

Jajajajajaja con razón me decían que no abreviara 😅

Carlos’s = correct.
Carlos’ would only be correct if the singular pronoun was Carlo and you were talking about more than one Carlo. For example, if Carlo was a last name and you were speaking about the Carlo family car. ‘The Carlos’ car is very ugly.’ More examples: ‘The Jones’s car’ vs ‘The Smiths’ car’. Jones and Smith are surnames in singular form.
