 Plural Nouns
Nouns are words that mean people, places or things. Some examples are Matthew, the moon, and mountains.
Nouns can be singular (just one, for example, butterfly) or plural (more than one, for example, butterflies).
Examples:
Notice that, in English, when you have more than one of a noun, you add the letter -s to the end. In Spanish, you add an -s or -es. You add -s if the word ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u), and -es if the word ends in a consonant (all other letters).
Rule: To make a word plural, add -s if the word ends in a vowel, and -es if the word ends in a consonant.
If the noun ends in -z, change the ending to -ces.
Example:
la luz
the light
las luces
the lights
In English, when you make a word plural, only that word adds an -s. In Spanish, all words that describe that noun (all adjectives) also become plural.
Examples:
la estrella roja
the red star
las estrellas rojas
the red stars
el corazón azul
the blue heart
los corazones azules
the blue hearts
That's because in Spanish, when you have a plural noun, you change all words that describe that noun (all adjectives) to the plural also. You will add -s or -es to all adjectives. For the word the, choose the plural form (los or las).
Rule: When you make a word plural, make all adjectives plural also.
