If the word ends in a vowel (a,e,i,o,u)… • Just add an “s” at the end. Ex. La mochila = Las mochilas Una mochila = Unas mochilas El libro = Los libros Un libro = Unos libros
If the word ends in a consonant(b,c,d,f,g,z……) • Add an “es” at the end Ex. La religión = Las religiones Una religión = Unas religiones El león = Los leones Un león = Unos leones
If the word ends in “z” • Change the “z” to a “c” • Add es • Ex: la actriz = lasactrices • unaactriz = unasactrices
