DVD or DVDs? - English Spanish Translator Org: Translation Forum � Translators Forums

Hi everyone!

I just came across a translation that talks about DVD discs and LED screens, etc.

I was wondering if it is correct to add the small "s" at the end when you talk in plural, like LEDs, CDs, DVDs, etc.
"I have a audio system that reads mp3 from my CDs."
Or just "I have a system that reads mp3 from a CD."

Thanks!

Saludos Veronica!

Both are correct although I think the first one sounds better (CDs in the plural form) So yes, I would say that if you are using plural, add the "s"

Hi Veronica!
It is correct to add the S when you are referring to a plural noun but I would not use MY CDs since it can read other CDs too. The general use is more appropiate.
so, I have an audio system that can read MP3 from CDs.
