It's how defining where something is positioned is constructed.
The first one means "there is a guy on the bike", the second one "there are men on the bikes"
To make this kind of construction, you always have to add a possessive suffix, "-in" in this case.
Here you will find the theory about that kind of construction.
Hope this helps

Thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hi I am not so good but if it does not mean the possive pronoun-Your it could mean in as in the genitive case meaning belonging to. Therefore it would mean The boy on his bike and the men on their bikes. Hope this may help...it make s sense to me but I am not sure. Cheers Jo-Anne][/] |
