Learn to Read and Speak the Spanish Language - Plural Nouns
If a noun ends in a vowel, make it plural by adding -s.
(libro + s) pluma: plumas (pluma + s) chico: chicos (chico + s) señora: señoras (señora + s) The definite articles (el, la) also change in the plural form. They become "los" and "las." The definite articles will be covered in depth in the next lesson.
la pluma: las plumas el chico: los chicos la señora: las señoras If a noun ends in a consonant, make it plural by adding -es.
(borrador + es) la universidad: las universidades (universidad + es) el profesor: los profesores (profesor + es) la ciudad: las ciudades (ciudad + es) If a noun ends in -ión, add -es and drop the written accent.
la conversación: las conversaciones la sección: las secciones la televisión: las televisiones Note: You may wonder why "avión" isn't feminine. Notice that it doesn't qualify for our rule which says that all nouns ending in -ción and sión are feminine. If a noun ends in -z, add -es and change the z to c.
la voz: las voces el tapiz: los tapices la actriz: las actrices When the plural refers to two or more nouns of different genders, the masculine plural is used.
1 gato + 8 gatas = 9 gatos (not gatas) Let's review the rules for making nouns plural.
