Plural pronouns, articles, and verbs (somos, são, os, as)

Plural Pronouns and the Verb "Ser"

To talk about multiple people or things, you will need the plural subject pronouns:

• nós (we)
• vocês (you, plural)
• eles (they, masculine or mixed group)
• elas (they, strictly feminine)

These pronouns pair with the plural forms of the verb ser (to be):

Basic Plurals for Nouns and Adjectives

When your subject is plural, any nouns and adjectives describing it must also be plural. For words ending in a vowel, simply add an -s to the end (for example, americano becomes americanos).

Plural Definite Articles

Just like nouns and adjectives, definite articles must agree in number and gender. The singular articles o (the, masculine) and a (the, feminine) become os and as in the plural.
