Show transcript
[o] and [ö] need practice to distinguish between singular and plural forms of some nouns, e.g., 'Vogel' and 'Vögel'. Masculine and neuter nouns ending in -el, -en and -er don’t usually change in the plural form. A few -el, -en and -er plurals do add an umlaut to ‘a’, ‘o’, and ‘u’, e.g., 'Vögel'. To say 'they' in German, use 'sie' for all genders. The subject pronoun 'sie' means both 'it' (feminine) and 'they'. The verb form tells us what is being talked about.
