Regular nouns are nouns that form their plurals by adding either the letter s or -es (guy, guys; letter, letters; actress, actresses; etc.). To show plural possession, simply put an apostrophe after the s. Rule 2b. Do not use an apostrophe + s to make a regular noun plural.

Yes, it's possible. For Singular Number, apostrophe is used just after the Noun-word followed by 's'. Example- This is Pankaj's Question. But in plurals, apostrophe is used only by 'comma' sign, just after the plural word. Exaples- This is boys' school.
