Possession for words ending in "s"
There's some confusion, I think, about what to do if you've got to make someone's name possessive if their name ends in an S, for example, my friend Jess.발음듣기
If we're talking about Jess, and we're talking about something that belongs to her, like Jess's hat.발음듣기
There had been some debate over this for some time, but now, let me tell you, the answer is yes, Jess's hat.발음듣기
[Paige] Right, it seems like a lot of Esses in a row, but it's important for understanding what someone's trying to say.발음듣기
[David] Mm-hmm, the same thing happens regardless, it can be for words ending in S, like bus.발음듣기
So if we said, "The air conditioning on this bus is broken," we could say instead to make it a little bit shorter, The bus's air conditioning is broken."발음듣기
Again, we're just taking all of that information about the air conditioning that belongs to the bus, all of that is just sort of being bundled up into this apostrophe S.발음듣기
It doesn't matter that bus already ends with an S, this works the same as any other word, we're just gonna say, "bus's."발음듣기
If we wanted to talk about the chili culture of the state of Texas, for example, we would say, "Texas's chili culture."발음듣기
[Paige] Yeah, so it's exactly the same as any other singular word even though it ends in S, you still need another S.발음듣기
