10. Are there any patterns? Plural patterns According to the Duden Grammatik, two basic rules apply to approximately 85% of noun plurals in German: 1. Masculine and neuter nouns form their plural with -e or have no ending. If the end syllable of the word contains an -e (either -e or -e + consonant), no - e is added in the plural form. 2. Masculine nouns that end in -e and feminine nouns form their plural with - en. If the end syllable of the word contains an -e (either -e or -e + consonant), the -en is shortened to -n. Two additional rules allow plural forms to be predicted with even higher accuracy: 3. Words ending in an unstressed syllable made up of a vowel or diphthong take the plural form -s. 4. Nouns that end in -e or -e + consonant will not have an -er plural form.
