Singular / Plural

The Singular / Plural drill tests one specific skill: given a noun in the singular, produce its plural form. This is a typing drill — you write the answer, then check.

How it works

  1. A noun appears in the singular with its article (e.g. la canción).
  2. Type the plural form (with the plural article — las canciones).
  3. Submit. The app checks your answer:
    • Exact match — counted as correct.
    • Match with accent / case differences — accepted (LinguaMorpha normalises accents on input).
    • Wrong — the correct form is shown and you can study it.

The deck includes a mix of:

  • Simple vowel endings (libro → libros)
  • Consonant endings (flor → flores, mes → meses)
  • z → ces patterns (luz → luces, vez → veces, lápiz → lápices)
  • Accent-shift cases (examen → exámenes, canción → canciones, joven → jóvenes)
  • Unchanged plurals (el lunes → los lunes, el paraguas → los paraguas)

What you need to type

LinguaMorpha is lenient about accidentals but strict about meaning:

  • Accent placement matters — cancion alone won't be accepted as a plural form.
  • The article matters — canciones without las is incomplete.
  • Capitalisation does not matter.

Tips

  • Before drilling, read the Plural Formation rules. The drill assumes you know them; it's there to make them automatic, not to teach them from scratch.
  • The accent-shift cases (examen → exámenes) are the most useful part of this drill. Most learners get the -s / -es / -ces rules quickly but mis-spell the accented forms. The drill keeps these forms in front of you until they stick.
