some peoples have power to think about their nations.

It doesn't make any sense and I don't know what you mean. Please try to say it using other words. Also, remember to start a sentence with a capital letter.

When you post your next thread, remember that we ask that you make your title more connected to your question. A good title would have been "Some peoples have power".

Note that the plural of "person" is "people", not "peoples".

But "peoples" is a proper word, and this is arguably a context in which it could be used - ie. with 'nations'. "The peoples of some nations have more power than others."

The problem here is what you mean by the power to think- anyone can think, so why is it a power available to some?
 
Well, actually my english teacher wrote this sentence where the question was to correct errors.
question was: Some peoples have power to think about their nation.
I corrected it as : Some people have power to think about their nation.
& he wrote: Some peoples have power to think about their nations.
 
Some people = individuals
Some people = nations

However, I still think have power to think needs changing.
 
what you mean is "some people have rights to think of their nations", isn't it?

Even that doesn't really work IMO- the most oppressive regime on earth cannot stop people thinking.
 
I honestly think my English teacher is a Hindi speaker to come up with such absurd questions and then complement them with absurder answers. These sentences are not figments of my imagination.
