Plural of Nouns
(2nd of 2) |
Spanish nouns that end in a vowel form plurals by adding the letter -s. Nouns that end in a consonant add -es. Nouns that end in the consonant -z change the -z to -c before adding -es: el lápiz (pencil), pl. los lápices. Nouns that have the last syllable accented in the singular form will lose the accent mark when the noun is plural: la conversación, las conversaciones; la razón(reason), las razones, etc. As well when the noun is plural the definite and indefinite articles must be used in the plural form: un hombre>unos hombres; la conversación>las conversaciones. Unos and unas mean some, several, or a few. In Spanish, the masculine plural form of a noun is used when referring to a group made up of males and females: los amigos (includes both male and female friends). |
