There are different ways to make different words plural.

You have to remember to make every adjective agree, and change every applicable verb into the "Ellos" form.

For most words that end in "a" or "o", just add S.

So like, La persona es alta = Las personas son altas.

Some words change like "lapiz"

Lapiz - Lapices

Or some that don't end in a or o, just end "es"

El pan - Los panes

Also if you're talking about a plural noun with Gustar, make sure to use Gustan, remembering that the object of the sentence in English becomes the subject,

e.g. 'I like potatoes' becomes, effectively, 'Potatoes please me', so 'please' has to be in the plural: 'Me gustan las patatas'

It depends upon the word. Latin has masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns and each has its own ending both in singular and plural (with some irregulars thrown in just for fun) The most common examples are: a masculine noun usually ends in --us. To make it plural, drop the us and replace it with an i, such as taurus, a bull, or tauri, more than one bull; the feminine nouns generally end in --a so you add an e to it making the ending--ae. For example, puella is one girl, puellae is more than one or girls. In the neuter gender the words generally end in --um, so you drop the um and replace it with an a, such as forum for a single marketplace and fora for more than one. There are other endings, but those three are the most common. by showin it of f jig
