Write the following articles and nouns in their plural forms: el lápiz la nariz el profesor el ratón
los lápices
las narices

los ratones
To form the plural form of articles and nouns in Spanish, we usually add -s or -es at the end, depending on the word's ending. Let's pluralize the words you provided:
1. El lápiz (the pencil) - los lápices (the pencils)
To form the plural of "el lápiz," we replace the -iz ending with -ices.
2. La nariz (the nose) - las narices (the noses)
The word "nariz" ends in a consonant, so we simply add -es to make it plural.
3. El profesor (the teacher) - los profesores (the teachers)
Similar to "el lápiz", we replace the -or ending with -ores to form the plural.
4. El ratón (the mouse) - los ratones (the mice)
The ending -ón changes to -ones to form the plural form of "ratón."
Remember that in Spanish, the articles (el/la) also change to plural forms (los/las) to agree with the nouns they precede.
