Implied Feminine

Even though 'naturales' itself ends in '-es', this noun usage is actually short for 'las ciencias naturales' (the natural sciences). Therefore, if you use an article, it should be feminine, like 'la clase de naturales'.

Using the wrong article

Mistake: “El naturales es difícil.”

Correction: Las naturales (or La clase de naturales) es difícil. Remember the core noun 'ciencias' is feminine.
