In Spanish, the plural nouns are formed by adding ‘s’ or ‘es’, also, by adding a definite article ‘los’ before masculine nouns and ‘las’ before feminine nouns.
For nouns that end in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), add ‘s’:
| El músico / Los músicos (musician) | La casa / Las casas (house) |
| El niño / Los niños (boy) | La niña / Las niñas (girl) |
| El vino / Los vinos (wines) | La cama / Las camas (bed) |
For nouns that end in a consonant, add ‘es’:
| El reloj / Los relojes (watch) | La flor / Las flores (flower) |
| El borrador / Los borradores (eraser) | La Universidad / Las universidades (university) |
For nouns ending in ‘z’, change the z and add ‘ces’ at the end:
| El lápiz / Los lápices (pencil) | La avestruz / Las avestruces (ostrich) |
| El juez / Los jueces (judge) | La nariz / Las narices (nose) |
For nouns with accent mark on the last syllable in the plural the accent mark drops:
| El avión / Los aviones (plane) | El león / Los leones (lion) |
| El corazón / Los corazones (heart) | La conversación / Las conversaciones (conversation) |
| El camión / Los camiones (truck) | La televisión / Las televisiones (television) |
When a plural noun is composed of two or more nouns of different genders, the masculine plural is used.
Example:
3 conejos + 6 conejas = 9 conejos (not conejas) (rabbit)
5 monos + 2 monas = 7 monos (not monas) (monkey)
Nouns that end in ‘s’ don’t change their spelling in the plural:
| El miércoles/ Los miércoles (Wednesday / Wednesdays) |
| La tesis/ Las tesis (Thesis / Theses) |
Spanish Plural Nouns Review

- If a noun ends in a consonant add ‘es’.
- If a noun ends in z, change the z for ‘ces’.
- If a noun in the plural form refers to a mix of genders, always use the masculine plural.
- Nouns that end in s don’t change their spelling in the plural.
