|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | -e | sometimes | der Tisch to die Tische; der Stuhl to die Stühle |
| 2 | -er | often | das Kind to die Kinder; das Buch to die Bücher |
| 3 | -en/-n | never | die Blume to die Blumen; die Frau to die Frauen |
| 4 | -s | never | das Auto to die Autos; das Hotel to die Hotels |
| 5 | — (none) | sometimes | der Lehrer to die Lehrer; die Mutter to die Mütter |
