Making Plurals in Spanish

Basic Rules

• Noun Ending in a Vowel:

  • Simply add an S.
  • Example: "el hombre" becomes "los hombres".
  • Change the article to plural as well.

• Noun Ending in a Consonant:

  • Add ES.
  • Example: "la mujer" becomes "las mujeres".
  • Consonants are any letters that are not vowels (A, E, I, O, U).
