Pronouncing the ¨s¨ in ¨plus¨

Pronouncing the ¨s¨ in ¨plus¨

Is the ¨s¨ always pronounced in this usage (i.e. ¨plus que¨, ¨plus ... que¨), or are there some conditions for when it is and is not pronounced (i.e. ¨plu que¨)? 

(This may be covered in another lesson, but might be a useful tip for this lesson)
