NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO FIND THE PLURAL FORMS OF NOUNS IN YOUR ONLINE DICTIONARY.
Remember the following:
There is no rule of how to form a plural form of a noun in German. You need a dictionary to look this up
Use your dict.cc online dictionary. Do not use a google translator, since you will often get incorrect answers!
Enter 'tables' (plural form of 'table') into your dictionary
You will find: tables = Tische (pl)
The little 'pl' stands for plural.
Therefore the plural form of 'der Tisch' = 'die Tische'
Please note: the gender (masculine, feminine and neuter) does not matter anymore, when we create a plural form of a noun. All plural nouns in German take the 'die' article
