How do I set the apostrophe in these sentences: one dogs bed, Carlas house, my three brothers names, both players uniforms, Miguels favorite book, the poems title, the coaches office, four students projects.

Yes, the apostrophe is used correctly in the sentence: "John Adams's strong inner sense of justice."

To determine whether to use an apostrophe after a person's name to indicate possession, you need to follow the general rule for singular nouns. If the noun does not end with an "s" sound, you add an apostrophe followed by an "s" ('s) to show possession. In this case, since "Adams" does not end with an "s" sound, you add an apostrophe and an "s" after it to show that something belongs to John Adams.

If the name did end with an "s" sound, you still have a few different options. Some style guides and writers will use only an apostrophe after a name ending in "s" to indicate possession, while others will use an apostrophe followed by an "s" ('s). Both options are considered correct; it just depends on the style guide or personal preference. For example:

- Charles Dickens' novels (using only an apostrophe after the name)
- Charles Dickens's novels (using an apostrophe followed by an "s" after the name)

In the case of John Adams, since "Adams" does not end with an "s" sound, you would typically use the apostrophe followed by an "s" ('s).
