Plurals Always Use "De"

Another consistent rule in Dutch is that all plural nouns use "de" as their article.

Even if a singular noun uses "het", its plural form will always use "de".

For example:

- "het huis" (the house) becomes "de huizen" (the houses)

- "het kind" (the child) becomes "de kinderen" (the children)

- "de man" (the man) becomes "de mannen" (the men)

- "de vrouw" (the woman) becomes "de vrouwen" (the women)

This rule has no exceptions!
