    Número de los sustantivos (Number of Nouns)

    How to make a noun plural:

    • If a word ends in a vowel, add –s (Play Audiocuaderno – cuadernos) (Play Audiochica – chicas)
    • If a word ends in a consonant, add an –es (Play Audiomarcador – marcadores) (Play Audioreloj – relojes)
    • If a word ends in -z, change to –c and add–es (Play Audiolápiz- lápices) (Play Audioluz – luces)

    The plural of the feminine singular article “la” is therefore “las”. The plural of the masculine singular article “el” is irregular: “los”.
