Making Adjectives Plural

If the noun is plural (more than one), you usually add ‘-s’ to the adjective too.

Adding an 's'

Adding an 's'

  • If the adjective ends in a vowel (‘a’, ‘e’ or ‘o’), you just add ‘-s’ to make it plural.
    • It doesn't matter if the adjective is in its feminine or masculine form.
