Posesión con ser + de
There are two ways to indicate possession in Spanish. As you may recall, one way is to use the verb ser in the following pattern: object(s) + ser de + person who has the object(s)
Los adjetivos posesivos
A more common way to express possession, especially when it is clear to whom something belongs, is to use possessive adjectives:
| singular possessor | plural possessor |
 mi (my) |
nuestro (our) |
| tu (your) |
vuestro (your) |
| su (his, her, your) |
su (their, your) |
¿Cuánto/cuántos? means “how many” if the noun is countable (meaning you can count up by adding more of the items), and means “how much” if the noun is uncountable (meaning an indivisible, collective thing).
Quién is the singular version of “who,” and is meant to represent one person. Therefore, the verb is conjugated in the él/ella form as if one person were the subject of the sentence. Quiénes is the plural version of “who,” and is meant to represent multiple people. Here you would use the ellos/ellas form of the verb.
