¿Dónde va el apóstrofo en un sustantivo plural?

Para un plural que ya termina en s, como boys, el apóstrofo va después de la s: the boys' bikes. Para un plural que no termina en s, como children, se añade 's como en un nombre normal: the children's toys.

How do I know if I need whose or who's?

Whose asks about ownership and is always followed by a noun, such as whose bag. Who's is a short form of who is or who has, and it is followed by a verb or a past participle, such as who's coming.

Do all plural nouns take 's for the possessive?

No. A plural that already ends in s, like boys, takes only an apostrophe: the boys' bikes. A plural that does not end in s, like children, takes 's just like a singular name: the children's toys.
