 Many-to-many relationships are the most complicated of the three relationships. But don't worry, you can do this. For example, assume a User has many Roles, but a Role can also belong to many Users. Three database tables must be created to accomplish this relationship: a **users** table, a **roles** table, and a **role_user** table. The structure for each table looks like this:
 
-**Users:**
+**users:**
 
 	id    - INTEGER
 	email - VARCHAR
 
-**Roles:**
+**roles:**
 
 	id   - INTEGER
 	name - VARCHAR
 
-**Role_User:**
+**role_user:**
 
     id      - INTEGER
 	user_id - INTEGER
 	role_id - INTEGER
 
+Tables contain many records and are consequently plural. Pivot tables used in **has\_many\_and\_belongs\_to** relationships are named by combining the singular names of the two related models arranged alphabetically and concatenated them with an underscore.

 Now you're ready to define the relationship on your models using the **has\_many\_and\_belongs\_to** method:
