The Plural Article

This time we have good news. The plural article is always the same.

As you already know, we have three main articles in German:
"der" (masculine), "die" (feminine) and "das" (neuter).

If we use a noun in the plural form, we always use the same article: "die".

Don't get confused by the grammar. It is really just a matter of repetition. Just do our lessons many times without learning any rules by heart. With every lesson you will learn more and more about the German language and how the language works.

Don't learn grammar rules by heart!

Sorry, but I hate to teach grammar rules!
That's why I don't let you learn grammar rules by heart
but create little lessons and explanations.
This way you are going to absorb the grammar automatically.
