Noun plurals
Prescribed by the AQA specification.
The short version
The nouns that never change in the plural
Multi-syllable nouns ending in an unstressed -s are identical in singular and plural, and the article carries the entire distinction. It also carries meaning: el lunes is 'on Monday', los lunes is 'on Mondays'. Stress that final syllable and the rule flips back to normal, so el mes becomes los meses.
el lunes, los lunes
That's the gist. The full article goes deeper - more examples, the edge cases, the why - and the practice below scores like a vocabulary session and earns the same XP.
