Plural

Talking about many things vs. one thing works just like in English... simply add ‑s! But in French, the plural ‑s is usually silent.

Les

When talking about more than one person or thing, le, la and l’ become les. Notice that the es in les sounds like é (as in "bay," but without the final y sound).

le garçon	les garçons
la femme	les femmes
l’hôtel	les hôtels

Prendre

Prendre (which means to take) has an s ending for both je and tu.

	prendre to take
je I	prends take
tu you (informal)	prends take
il / elle he / she	prend take

Ils and elles

Ils and elles can both mean they. Use ils for groups of men or both men and women. Use elles if everyone you are talking about is a woman.
