The Plural Form of Nouns

In English most plurals just add -s, but in German the plural ending varies from noun to noun and is often unpredictable — that's why the plural of each noun must be learned separately. The good news is that gender (der/die/das) does not matter at all in the plural: whatever its gender, every noun takes the article 'die' in the plural, which makes things easier in one respect.
