### Plural Auxiliary Verbs

To talk about events in the past involving "we", "you (plural)", or "they", you will use the plural forms of the auxiliary verb **biti** (to be):
- **smo** (we)
- **ste** (you, plural or formal)
- **su** (they)

### Plural Participle Endings

Just like in the singular, the main verb (the l-participle) must match the gender of the subject. In the plural, the endings change:
- **-li** for masculine subjects, or mixed groups containing at least one male.
- **-le** for groups of entirely feminine subjects.
- **-la** for neuter subjects (this importantly includes words like **djeca**, meaning "children").

Here is how you use the **-li** ending for masculine and mixed groups:

{{item:1000788}}

{{item:1000791}}

When speaking directly to a group, use **ste** and the appropriate ending:

{{item:1000800}}

When a group is exclusively feminine, the verb takes the **-le** ending:

{{item:1000797}}

When talking about neuter plural subjects, the verb takes the **-la** ending:

{{item:1000799}}

### Asking Plural Questions

Just like with singular subjects, you can ask a yes/no question by starting with the full form of the auxiliary verb (**jesmo**, **jeste**, **jesu**) followed by the question word **li**:
