- I've seen articles about this, but don't always read it. It came up
- recently, so please excuse
- the repitition of a FAQ, but could someone run the rules by me one more
- time? I'm particularly interested in forming the plural and possessive
- forms of a name ending in 's'.

-
- Is This Correct?
-
- Plural:
- Merry Christmas, from the Jones's.
-
-
- Possessive:
- We'll take the Jones' car.

- Thanks for the help.
