Query: concordance of nouns in apposition

We know that a noun can be modified directly by another noun in apposition value. Some cases are member state, child prodigy, frogman. The question arises when we have to form the plural of these lexical units. It is always proper for the second noun remains unchanged, but there are cases that can also be used in the plural. We can say both satellite countries as satellite countries, but not car bombs (misuse). Why? It is not so complicated: in this type of construction, when the second of nouns can function as an attribute of the first (this is proved by interposing a copula), may also pluralized. Do states are members? Yes, then we can also say states. Do companies are leaders? Yes, then, leading . The men are frogs? No, therefore, the second noun must remain unchanged: frogmen. "The hours are peak? No, therefore, are peak.

Consultation: tilde in "only" Alejandro

only The word can be an adjective : The aquatint is a drawing that is done a single color ink.
And it can be an adverb : In Argentina, the only person who assists the workplace date of receipt, it is called gnocchi.
In either case, because it is a serious word ended in a vowel should be written without a tilde , according to general rules of accentuation. Only in sentences where these two functions, adjective or adverb, can be confused and therefore render the meaning ambiguous, diacritical accents in its adverbial use: Elijah
only exercised the function of head.
(no tilde, interpreted only as an adjective: "no company"). Elijah
exercises only the function of head.
(with tilde, only be interpreted as an adverb: 'only, alone').
Important The adverb should not be branded only when there is no risk of ambiguity in interpretation.

Consultation: "The Simpsons or Simpsons?" Plural

Alejandro:
Your question is very interesting.
In fact, foreign surnames are often not translated (for example, a English text, Roger Waters not appear translated Roger Waters), which is why we believe it is advisable to apply the same rules that apply to English surnames.
The Pan-Hispanic Dictionary of doubt says that the names remain unchanged when appointing the members of one family: last month, visited the Sosa. When used to refer to several people who have the same surname, use vacillates between maintained or pluralize as the standard.
While most English-speakers prefer to keep unchanged, is not considered wrong to use the plural, but much more frequent when the last names end in vowels that when ending in a consonant: In my work, various cheeses and two Escobar .
When pluralized, surnames ending in a consonant follow the same rules the other substantive. In the case of Simpson , which ends in-n , if a English word, the plural is formed by adding-es and, since (except in the words specimen, scheme and character ) the stressed vowel is the same in singular and plural, should act [Simpson] . For all this, we believe it is best Simpson.
One last fact: the names ending in-z always remain unchanged ( the Lopez and Marquez ).
