To form the plural of words that end in "z," we usually double the "z" and add "es." For example, the plural of "buzz" is "buzzes." The plural of "whiz" is "whizzes."
Nouns ending in -z (common or proper nouns) add -es to the end of the word to form the plural: Mr. and Mrs. Heintz or the Heintzes.The plural possessive form is Heintzes'.
The plural possessive is foxes'.Example use:All the foxes' tails were caked with mud.Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch are made plural by adding "es" to the end of the word.
Nouns ending with -z form the possessive by adding apostrophe -s ('s) to the end of the word.Examples:Buzz; Buzz's bicyclejazz; jazz's greatsquiz; the quiz's difficultywaltz; the waltz's end
To form the possessive form of a proper noun ending in "z," simply add an apostrophe and an "s" after the "z." For example, the possessive form of the proper noun "Fitz" would be "Fitz's."
To show possession for names ending in "z," add an apostrophe followed by an s ('s) just like with other names. For example, for the name "Jazz," the possessive form would be "Jazz's car."
