Did you know that in Spanish there are words that are spelled the same in both the singular and plural forms?

They are called invariable nouns in the singular and plural. In these cases, the number is identified by the article or the context.

Ejemplos:

  1. El paraguas / Los paraguas

  2. El lunes / Los lunes (and the rest of the weeks days ending with -s)

  3. El virus / Los virus

  4. El atlas / Los atlas

  5. La crisis / Las crisis

  6. La tesis / Las tesis

  7. La hipótesis / Las hipótesis

  8. La síntesis / Las síntesis

  9. La dosis / Las dosis

  10. La metrópolis / Las metrópolis

  11. El paracaídas / Los paracaídas

  12. El salvavidas / Los salvavidas

  13. La caries / Las caries


These are penultimate-stress words or proparoxytone words, meaning they are stressed on the second or third syllable and end in -s.
