One lesson is 'dars', but many lessons would be 'darslar'.
Possessive suffixes are added directly to the noun.

The accusative case suffix '-ni' is used for definite direct objects.
If you are 'taking the lesson' (a specific one), you might say 'darsni olmoq'. 'dars' + '-ni'.
The locative case suffix '-da' indicates 'in' or 'at' a place/time.
To say 'in the lesson' or 'at the class', you'd use 'darsda'.
