Question types: One and two: plurals

Rule: German plurals

The plural article is always die. The endings vary: -e, -en, -n, -er, -s or none, often with an umlaut.

So learn the plural together with the word.

Example: der Hund → die Hunde (dogs), die Katze → die Katzen, das Buch → die Bücher

Watch out: Words in -er and -el often add nothing: der Lehrer → die Lehrer.
