Plural Nouns
To make any noun plural:

  • If the noun ends in a consonant that's not z, add -es.
  • If the nouns ends in z, change the z to c, and add -es.
  • If the noun ends in an accented syllable (ión, és), drop the accent and add -es.
  • Change all articles and adjectives to the plural.
  • Choose a plural verb.

Note
Un chico + una chica = unos chicos.

When you make a noun plural, you often affect the whole sentence:
            Singular: El estudiante es trabajador.
            Plural: Los estudiantes son trabajadores.
