Learn how to use apostrophe s with possessive nouns in English. In this lesson, I’ll teach you when to use an apostrophe with singular and plural possessive nouns to show ownership. You’ll also learn when the apostrophe comes before the ‘s’ and when it goes after the ‘s’.
We’ll review the following rules:
• Singular nouns: add ’s
• Singular nouns or names ending in s: adding ’s is optional
• Plural nouns ending in s: add ’
• Plural nouns that don’t end in s (irregular plural nouns): add ’s
• Shared possession: add ’s to the last noun
• Separate possession: add ’s to each noun.
• With hyphenated or compound nouns: usually add ’s

I got 9 out of 10 correct answers, but I got confused about the second one.
Considering that Kyles ends in S, is it correct to use just the apostrophe at the end like this (Kyles'), considering we're talking about two people and one house?
(*^-゜)vThanks!

Can we also pronounce e.g. friends' like:
