I need to make the adjectives plural, can anyone help???

In general, you add the letter "s" as in English, except 1. after -s and -x, they stay the same. 2. after -al, change to aux 3. after -eu, -eau, -au, change to eux. Each of the three cases above also have exceptions. The best way to be sure (unless you already know it) is to check in a dictionary. Examples: mes amis, des pains, des élèves... 1. un prix, des prix (prizes); un gros melon, des gros melons 2. un journal, des journaux; 3. un beau garçon, des beaux garçons. For more detailed explanations and the exceptions, see: http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/grammar/plural.shtml http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/grammar/plural_irregular.shtml etc. Post your work for checking if you wish.

@mathmate Thanks soooo much. I didn't pick this up from my teacher because he lacks the necessary teaching skills. But now I understand. :)
