el perro

Gael Uirbeach

conas tá sibh, ¡hola!, thanks for the help on my last post. Have another question I just want to be sure about before it becomes rivited to my brain, el perro is the singular for "the dog" sí? Is los perra the plural for "the dogs"?

Los perros, I think.

If a noun ends in a vowel, make it plural by adding -s.

libro: libros
(libro + s)
pluma: plumas
(pluma + s)
chico: chicos
(chico + s)
señora: señoras
(señora + s)



The definite articles (el, la) also change in the plural form. They become "los" and "las." The definite articles will be covered in depth in the next lesson.

el libro: los libros

la pluma: las plumas

el chico: los chicos

la señora: las señoras

We have differences between male and female so it would be:

Singular: el perro (male), la perra (female)
Plural: los perros (male), las perras (female)
