Take Note : The pluralization rules you’re about to learn are applied to all Spanish nouns . 

Forming Plurals: Rules for Plural Nouns in Spanish

Spanish plural nouns are used to communicate that we’re talking about two or more people, things, places, or ideas.

The rules to form Spanish plurals are: 

Spanish nouns ending in a vowel

With nouns that end in a vowel, add an ‘s’ to change it to a plural noun. For example:

Take Note: Nouns ending in ‘ í ’ or ‘ ú ’ can use endings ‘s’ or ‘es’. For example, bisturí can have two plural forms – bisturís or bisturíes. 

Nouns ending in a consonant

The plural form for nouns that end with a consonant is formed with the ending ‘-es’ . This rule doesn’t apply to most singular nouns ending in ‘s’. Check these examples:  

Take Note : When forming Spanish plural words, we change the stressed syllable. According to accent rules, this change sometimes prevents you from using an accent mark. For example, nouns ending with – ión always drop the accent mark in their plural form. 

Nouns ending in ‘z’

Nouns that end with a ‘z’ must use the plural ending ‘- ces ’. You can see some examples in the table below:

Take Note: When it comes to plural nouns, we replace a ‘z’ with a ‘c’ for spelling purposes. You will also see this spelling change in verb conjugations to keep the pronunciation consistent.

Nouns that end with ‘s’ or ‘x’

For the most part, Spanish nouns that end with an ‘s’ or ‘ x’ are invariable (constant), meaning you cannot add a plural ending to them. With these words, the plural form is marked through the definite article or other Spanish determiners you use:  

Take Note: The Spanish days of the week is a set of nouns that follow this rule. 

However, you must use the plural ending ‘-es’ if a noun ends in ‘-s’ and their last syllable is accented:

Spanish Grammar: Noun, Verb, Pronoun & Adjective Plural Agreement

A basic rule in Spanish grammar is agreement. Simply put, ‘agreement’ means that all of the elements in your sentence match in number (singular or plural) and, in some cases, gender . 

Check these singular and plural sentences:

As you can see in the graphic above, plural adjectives in Spanish are formed by following the same pluralization rules as nouns. For example: azul becomes azules. 

Pronouns must take the characteristics of the noun they replace. So, when working with plural nouns, you must ensure that you use the appropriate plural pronoun. Finally, you must use a third-person plural verb conjugation if the verb describes the noun or refers to the action performed by it. 

For example:

Take Note : Unlike English, many Spanish parts of speech must use a plural form. Nouns , pronouns, adjectives, and verbs are words that are pluralized if needed. 

Bonus: Words that Are Always Plural in Spanish

In Spanish, there are some words that are always used in plural form. Here are some examples of these nouns: 

• Añicos (formal) – Pieces
• Cosquillas – Tickle
• Gafas – Glasses
• Lentes – Glasses
• Tijeras – Scissors 
• Trabalenguas – Tongue twister 
• Vacaciones – Vacation / Holiday
• Víveres – Provisions / Supplies 

Take Note: Remember that there are some nouns in Spanish that end with an ‘s’ and have a singular and plural form, which you will mark with a determiner word ( el análisis vs los análisis). 

Knowing the rules for plural words is an essential part of basic grammar. Here are some points you should keep in mind: 

• A plural noun is used when talking about more than one person, thing, place, or idea. 
• ‘s’ for nouns ending in vowels. Casa vs Casas.
• Only use this ending with words that end with ‘s’ if their last syllable has an accent mark. 
• ‘ces’ for nouns ending in ‘z’. Lápiz vs lápices. 
• If a noun ends with ‘s’, you must mark the singular and plural form with a determiner word . 
• When changing a noun from singular to plural, some accent marks may be dropped. 
• The plural form is applied to nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verb conjugation as needed.

How to form the plural of Spanish nouns

The plural form of a noun refers to multiple or more than one of something. When a noun is plural the accompanying article is also plural.

In Spanish grammar the plural ending is usually -s or -es and articles also take -s in their plural form. In general, nouns have a singular and a plural form, although this is not always the case: like in English, there are nouns that only exist in the singular (e.g. la salud health ), and nouns that only exist in the plural (e.g. las fauces jaws ).

Learn how to form the plural of Spanish nouns with Lingolia’s grammar lesson, then test yourself in the exercises below.

los billetes de banco

las monedas

el dinero (no plural)

Nouns that end in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) usually take the plural ending -s .

If the final letter is a stressed í or ú , then we add the plural endings -s or -es.

However, nouns that come from other languages only take the plural ending -s .

Nouns that end with the consonants - d, -j, -l, -n, and -r take the plural ending - es .

A -z at the end of a word changes to - c before taking -es .

Foreign words that end with a consonant form the plural with either - s or - es .

When the plural is formed by adding -es , the word gains an extra syllable. In order to keep the stress on the correct syllable, it may be necessary to add or remove an accent in some words.

Nouns that end with -s or -x and have an unstressed final syllable do not take any extra ending in the plural.

However, if the final syllable is stressed, we add - es .

Most nouns can be used in the singular and in the plural.

However, some nouns only exist in the singular.

While some nouns only exist in the plural.

There are also nouns that have the same form in singular and plural.

Some nouns that are only plural in English can be singular or plural in Spanish.

The Spanish Plural: 8 Simple Rules to Master It

In English, you can add an “s” or “es” to make most words plural.

But forming the plural in Spanish is a bit different.

Don’t worry, though, it’s not too difficult! The Spanish plural can still be summarized in just eight simple rules.

The Plural in Spanish

• 8 Simple Rules for Forming the Spanish Plural

1. Match the article to the noun in both gender and number

2. add an “s” to nouns that end in vowels, 3. add “es” to nouns that end in consonants, 4. add “es” and drop the accent over the “o” if the noun ends in “ión”,  5. if a noun ends in “z”, add “es” and change the “z” to “c”, 6. nouns ending in “c” or “g”, change “c” → “qu” and “g” → “gu”, respectively, 7. when the noun ends in “s” or “x” and the last syllable is unstressed, only change the article to plural, 8. when the plural refers to two or more nouns of different genders, use the masculine plural, practical tips and general advice.

The plural, also referred to as “number” in Spanish, is very similar to the plural in English. The endings of each noun indicate whether the noun (a person, place, idea or thing) is single (just one) or is in company (more than one). This is the beauty of numbers in grammar: it only has two variations, one and more than one!

The plural also takes into account the gender of the noun.  Keeping track of gender and number while trying to think of words in a foreign language can make you feel overwhelmed and inadequate. The words may swirl around in your head and pair up erroneously, deflating your motivation.

Although it’s all a completely normal part of learning the language, particularly if you’re teaching yourself , these next eight rules should help untie the knot that formed in your cabeza (singular, feminine noun for “head”).

8 Simple Rules for Forming the S panish Plural

Words in Spanish are very organized. They cannot be separated from their kind or they will lose meaning. Whenever you are forming a sentence, you must make sure the article agrees with its noun in both gender and number.

This means that if the word is singular, the article must also be singular. If the noun is feminine, its article must be feminine as well.

Also, the articles differ depending on whether they’re definite or indefinite.

Definite articles are used when both speaker and listener have identified the noun. In English, the word “ the ” is used as the only variation.

Indefinite articles are used when the nouns are used in “general and broad” terms. In English the indefinite articles are “ a ” or “ an .”

*Although it may seem like too many articles to remember, they follow the same pattern: male, female, singular, plural. Even easier, they all have the same endings except for “un” and “el ! “

Spanish nouns can be plural or singular. Nouns that end in vowels are made plural by adding an “s” to the end. Here are some examples:

Accent marks exist in Spanish to add stress to the syllable that they (literally) accentuate. It’s a little like putting up balloons on your mailbox the day of your birthday party, so your guests will know which is your house. You add a distinctive mark to it in order to stress, or accentuate, where you live. This is exactly what accent marks do for words in Spanish; they add attention to the place where more stress/strength is required.

Sometimes, the accent mark is no longer needed when a word becomes plural. Luckily there are simple rules to follow regarding Spanish accent marks , but we’ll spell out one specific case here. 

When a word ends in -ión , drop the accent over that last “ o ” when the word becomes plural. Take a look at these examples:

Some words are a little more sensitive, sophisticated or picky (whatever you want to call it) than others. When a singular noun ends in “ z “, change the “ z ” to “ c ” and add “ es ” to make it plural.

*The word lápiz keeps its accent mark in the plural because its accent doesn’t fall on the last syllable.

Similarly, when singular nouns end in “ c ,” their final letter changes to “ qu ” before adding “- es.”   And when singular nouns end in “ g ,” their final letter changes to “ gu ” before adding “ -es. “

There are some words that remain the same in both the plural and the singular. In these cases, the only change occurs in the noun’s article.

*As you can see, most days of the week don’t change in the plural.

1 Male Plural + 2 Female Plurals = 3 Male Plurals

The Spanish language is programmed to be m asculine by default. No matter what the ratio of males to females is, if there’s one male in the mix, the word will automatically be in the masculine gender in the plural form.

When there’s a mixed group, however, the meaning of the word is neutralized. In other words, it’s understood that there are females and males in the mix.

Keeping track of the –o, -os, -a, -as endings can be confusing and frustrating at first. Simply remember that Rome was not built in a day and that mistakes pave the pathway to wisdom. So, embrace them and learn from them.

Above all, release any and all expectations of perfection and keep your goals simple, small and daily. Releasing expectations allows you to experience unlimited possibilities at a slower yet ultimately more rewarding pace.

If you’re looking for other ways to practice plurals, surrounding yourself with the language can help train your ears to hear the concept in practice.

Watching movies or TV shows in Spanish can help you further familiarize yourself with the Spanish plurals. Using programs that specialize in immersion for learners can also help you dive in. For example, the FluentU program uses authentic Spanish videos to provide context for your learning and immerse you in the language so that you can learn Spanish plurals directly from native speakers.

The Spanish language, unlike English, notices every detail of its world. Training your mind to think in this way will require time, but will ultimately yield new experiences, so be patient and suspend your judgment! Lastly, practice, listen, and label! These three verbs will take your language learning to new heights if you do them daily!
