cappyjon431, as already know, you can add the apostrophe "s" to show possession in English on words that end in an "s." The Villages's for example. It isn't necessary to add the "s". Although you should be consistent. But, if the word ends in a silent "s" like, for instance, Illinois. An apostrophe should always be used to make the noun possessive.
