I've recently started to learn some
Dutch via MOOC,
as you know.
And while learning "How to form the Plural of nouns", I've made this table for myself.
And as I'm not a teacher of Dutch and this is HALF-professional (based only on what we were given in MOOC - not on my research work), I decided to share it here for FREE.
But this is also an example of how I usually teach Russian - I just LOVE to explain ANY grammar topic in form of such "road maps" based on my research work.
Is it a...
Dutch word ?
Foreign (International) word?
Ends in
l/m/n/r//e ?
Ends in a vowel
(except “e”)
Other cases

Stressed ending
NON-stressed

+ EN

ouder => ouderS
hobby => hobby’S
