Pluralization Rule

This word is the plural form of 'canción.' Because the singular form ends in a consonant ('n'), you add '-es' to make it plural.

The Disappearing Accent

The singular word is 'canción' (with an accent). When you make it plural ('canciones'), the accent mark disappears because the natural stress of the word shifts to the second-to-last syllable.

Gender Reminder

Remember this word is feminine, even though it ends in '-es.' You must use feminine words with it, like 'las canciones' (the songs).

Incorrect Gender

Mistake:Los canciones

Correction: Las canciones. Since the singular form 'canción' is feminine, the plural must also be feminine.
