| Here's what I would use: Sophocles’s, Socrates’s /'sɔfəkli:z/ Marcus Aurelius’s /'ma:kəs ɔ:'ri:liəsiz/ meditations Jesus’ /ʤi:zəsiz/ teachings Moses’ /məuziz/ OR /məuziziz/ children Achilles’ /ə'kili:z/ heel Hercules’ /'hз:kjuli:z/ strength Ramses’ /ræmsi:z/ reign Xerxes’OR /'xereksiz/ conquest Tess’s /tesiz/mother Loch Ness’s /nesiz/other monster Black Bess’s /besiz/younger sister the princess’s /prinsesiz/pillow Jones’s /ʤəunziz/ house. Others may well do them diffeently- it's an area where there are some differences. |
