Объяснение:

Мы используем апостроф ('s) для образования притяжательного падежа существительных в единственном числе (Mr White's, Jessica's, mother's). Для существительных во множественном числе, оканчивающихся на -s, мы просто добавляем апостроф (parents'). Если нужно указать принадлежность двум людям, мы ставим 's после второго имени (Amy and Paul's).
