La class es pequeña. (original sentence, class is misspelled)

La clase es pequeña? (everything in singular)

We don't normally talk of writing a sentence in its plural form. In English, nouns can be pluralized and in some tenses the verb needs to be conjugated differently. In this case, I think what you are looking for in Spanish is the following:

Las clases son pequeñas. (every word in the sentence is changed to a plural form)

When the noun is pluralized: clase --> clases this requires --

Pluralizing the definite article: La --> Las

Pluralizing the conjugated noun (ser): es --> son

Pluralizing the adjective: pequeña --> pequeñas

Note that in English, the only words that change are the noun and the verb

The classes are small.

Welcome to the forum. Which part are you stuck on?

You have to change la to plural. Clase (note spelling) to plural es - meaning is to plural. Here you need to know that es is from the verb ser so you need third person plural. Finally adjectives have to agree as to gender and singular plural. Pequeña ends in a because clase is la.

None of the words are unusual. Edit your question with your answer and we will tell you if you are correct.

Here is a brief guide.
