In French, you can make a noun plural by adding an "s" to the singular form.

Here are some easy examples:

• un livre means a book. When you want to say more than one, you say des livres, which means books.

• une chaise means a chair. In plural, it becomes des chaises, which means chairs.

Understanding Gender and Articles

In French, nouns are either masculine (boy) or feminine (girl). This changes the articles you use with the nouns.

Definite Articles (these mean "the"):

• Use le for masculine nouns, like le garçon (the boy).
• Use la for feminine nouns, like la fille (the girl).
• For plural nouns, use les, for example, les enfants (the children).

Indefinite Articles (these mean "a" or "an"):

• Use un for masculine nouns, like un chien (a dog).
• Use une for feminine nouns, like une chatte (a cat).
• Use des for plural forms, like des oiseaux (birds).

Always remember to match the article with the noun's gender and number!
