What does it mean if a French word is plural?

In French, a plural word indicates that there is more than one of the thing being referred to.

Here's what you need to know:

* Most nouns form their plural by adding an "-s" to the end:

* *livre* (book) becomes *livres* (books)

* *chaise* (chair) becomes *chaises* (chairs)

* Some nouns have irregular plural forms:

* *enfant* (child) becomes *enfants* (children)

* *oeil* (eye) becomes *yeux* (eyes)

* *femme* (woman) becomes *femmes* (women)

* The plural form also changes the agreement of adjectives and articles:

* *un beau livre* (a beautiful book) becomes *des beaux livres* (beautiful books)

* *la grande chaise* (the big chair) becomes *les grandes chaises* (the big chairs)

It's important to remember that French uses gendered articles (le, la, les) and gendered adjectives, and these also need to agree with the plural noun.
