It'd be easier to work out if you used the infinitif, sourire

It's in the same group as rire

[storm mango]

I don't understand how to do tenses yet lol they really confuse me

[brazen robin]

So it also depends on what past tense form you want. Rire is ri, and sourire is souri for the participe passé.
If you're looking for the imparfait it's:
Je souriais, tu souriais, il souriait, nous souriions (yes, really with two i's), vous souriiez, ils souriaient

There are groups of words that follow the same endings, so generally I think it works best to remember these. My tutor likes to go on about 1st, 2nd and 3rd form conjugations, but there are differences within these. Like "all words ending in -er conjugate the same way", except they don't, because exceptions

[storm mango]

It was in my French grammar book, it asked me to translate "the mice and the cheese" into French

[storm mango]

Ahh yeah it's like the I before E except after C but there's more exceptions than words that follow the rule in English

[brazen robin]

Oh, if you mean souris for mice, nouns don't have a past tense

[storm mango]

Omg I'm so sorry I meant plural instead of past tense

Sorry I'm trying to do so many things at once lol

[brazen robin]

Oh, for plurals, generally words ending in s don't change, so souris for singular souris for plural

[storm mango]

Ahhh oui

Thank you so much!!

[golden ibex]

You've got a typo in there

[shell shore]

two

[brazen robin]

I think I got them both 🙂

[shell shore]

yep!

[neon kite]

Nouns already ending in -s, -x and -z don't take the plural s.
Les souris, les houx, les gaz.
