Consultation: the demonstrative pronouns tilde
Demonstratives indicate humans, animals or things. Are essentially three this , that and that , with its feminine and plural.
When functioning as nouns, pronouns are:
That's my dog.
With that do not hang out.
When modified a noun are adjectives must agree
that task.
these games are not suitable for this age.
In either case, words which should not take tilde under the rules of written accent in English: is a word that ended in a consonant acute than-no-s and other demonstrative ( this , this , that , that , these , those , etc.) are serious words ending in a vowel or in-s.
in a statement only when the demonstrative can be interpreted as a pronoun and an adjective, so that the meaning is ambiguous, diacritical accents in pronominal use:
This fight for the rights of the disadvantaged.
(no tilde, that is interpreted as adjective modifying a struggle.) That
fight for the rights of the disadvantaged.
(with tilde, that pronoun is interpreted as a function of subject of the sentence: 'that person, that woman'). Demonstratives
this , that and that are neutral forms that can only run as pronouns, so never written with a tilde:
That is unacceptable.
That was beautiful, but it is sublime.
Important Demonstrative pronouns should not be branded as there is no risk of ambiguity in interpretation.

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.
