possessive form of quiz

[1516]

What is the possessive form of "quiz"? Or other words that end with z, x or s?

Quiz's. Box's. Boss's.

Just add 's and pronounce with an additional syllable /ɪz/.

Hello 1516, and Welcome to the Forum!

I think it might just be quiz's.

I couldn't think of a sentence in which I could use it, though. Can you? (Cross-posted with natrkp)

I have seen people write just the apostrophe (e.g. Jesus'), is that also correct or not?

Here is a long thread that discusses this item in a lot of detail. Please read that and add any further questions there. I will close this thread to avoid duplicating that discussion.

For common nouns, I think you use the regular plural form.

Some complications with proper nouns though. Have a look at this thread:
