Important Grammar Note!

 

'Plural' means more than one of something.

 

E.g: 'Les maisons' = 'The houses'

 

In general, if you want to make something plural, you add an -s to the end of the noun and adjective.

 

E.g:

 

'Les grands poissons' = 'The big fish' (Plural)

'Les petits lapins' = 'The small rabbits'

'Les canards bruns' = 'The brown ducks'

 

However, if the word already ends in 's' or 'x', you don't need to add another 's' or 'x' in the plural.

 

E.g:

 

Le prix =The price/prize
Les prix = The prices/prizes
La voix = The voice
Les voix = The voices 

 

Animal, bird and horse are irregular words in the plural.

 

'Un animal' = 'An animal'

'Les animaux' = 'The animals'

'Un oiseau' = 'A bird'

'Les oiseaux' = 'The birds'

'Un cheval' = 'A horse'

'Les chevaux' = 'The horses'
