Is it Tess’ house? Or Tess’s house?
Never could figure out this issue of possessive nouns. If the noun ends with an “s”, do you add an apostrophe without the extra “s” or not?

If a noun (singular or plural, no matter) ends with “s”, put apostrophe only. This is a rule.So, Tess’ house.
Good luck.

Tess’
If it is a singular noun and ends with an S, you only use the apostrophe.

Just an apostrophe at the end of the s is fine, and there is no need to add another s.

Either way is technically correct. Dropping the possessive ‘s’ just makes it look a little less awkward.
