Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Second, a name ending in s takes only an apostrophe if the possessive form is not pronounced with an extra s. Hence: Socrates’ philosophy. Saint Saens’ music.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: An apostrophe is used after the ‘s’ when more than one person (or thing) owns the object (or objects). Commentary: the subject ‘hay’ is singular so the verb will be singular too.
Detailed explanation-3: -The apostrophe has three uses: 1) to form possessive nouns; 2) to show the omission of letters; and 3) to indicate plurals of letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use apostrophes to form possessive pronouns (i.e. his/her computer) or noun plurals that are not possessives.
