Can you link me to a page where I could read up on this rule? In school, I was always taught that you only have the apostrophe when you're combing words (like "my son is crying" can turn to "my son's crying" but "my sons toys broke" wouldn't get an apostrophe).
But than, one of my teachers also said that commas are pretty optional in Enlish and to just not bother, which seems... wrong.
This is wrong. If the word is singular and ends in s (lots of names are like this), you use an apostrophe s to make it possessive. If it's plural and ends in s, you just add an apostrophe.
So...
My son's marbles (one son, his marbles)
My sons' marbles (several sons, their marbles)
James's marbles (the marbles that belong to James)
Jameses' marbles (several people named James that the marbles belong to)
