German Plural Article

I have some good news for you this time.

The German plural article always remains the same.

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

Worth mentioning: German Plural Article

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

Well, at least in the nominative case, but please don’t worry too much about the German cases at this point.

Always step by step – always.

Today let’s focus on the main article in the plural form.

  1. Repeat my basic lessons until you understand it
  2. Practice with my TPRS audio stories (my main packages) and develop a natural feeling for the correct grammar.
