in Chinese, you don't have to worry about plurals or verb conjugation?    In other words, a verb - for instance, chī (to eat) - stays in the same form no matter whether you're saying wǒ chī (I eat), tā chī (he/she eats), tāmen chī le (they ate), wǒmen chī guò (we have eaten), etc.    And to make a noun plural, you don't have to change its form at all (unlike English - car/cars, goose/geese). For example, take a look at the following words in Chinese:    qìchē (car)    yī/yí (one)    wǔ (five)    liàng (measure word for automobiles)    Now look at these words used in sentences:    yí liàng qìchē (one car)    wǔ liàng qìchē (five cars)    The word qìchē (car) didn't change its form, even when talking about more than one car.    Furthermore, Chinese also doesn't use gender or articles. That means no worrying about saying the equivalent of le grand chat but la grande baguette, like in French, or using "the" or "a/an" at all.
