These sentences are typical: The bottle of water belongs to him. (3rd person singular, takes -s) The roses belong to her. We almost always say "belong(s) to" someone or something. A few exceptions: "People want to feel like they belong." "Go away!" "You don't belong here!"

Hello Amy Tian. The water bottle belongs to him. ''Belong to somebody'' is a phrasal verb and it means to be someone's property.
