posesion

thanks beforehand.

Para expresar en Ingles correctamente la pertenencia de algo:

El carro de el hombre = the men's car.
Los carros de el hombre = the men's cars.
los carros de los hombres = the mens's cars.
El carro de los hombres = the mens's car.

mi duda es sobre todo en el plural.

Hi Luís.

Primero:

un hombre = one man
dos hombres = two men

Así que sería:

El carro del hombre = The man's car.
Los carros del hombre = The man's cars.
El carro de los hombres = The men's car.
Los carros de los hombres = The men's cars.

En este caso, el sustantivo "hombre" (man) en inglés es irregular en el plural.

man - men
hombre - hombres

en lugar de:

man - mans

Y el posesivo "del hombre", "de los hombres", es como siempre el apostrofe más "s" ('s)

Ahora, con sustantivos que forman el plural de una manera regular:

boy - boys
chico - chicos

girl - girls
chica - chicas

El posesivo se forma de otro modo:

The boy's car - el carro del muchacho.
The boys' car - el carro de los muchachos.

Espero te haya ayudado. Si no, me dices y lo sigo explicando más.
