Plural Nouns English Grammar Rules LAE I Ing. César Osvaldo García Montes

Adding “S” In general the plural of a noun is formed by adding -S to the noun. SingularPlural  carcars  househouses  bookbooks  birdbirds  pencilpencils

S, Z, SS, SH, CH or X = ES When the noun ends in SS, SH, CH or X, we add -ES to the noun.  SingularPlural  kisskisses  wishwishes  matchmatches  boxboxes  foxfoxes

VOWEL+Y = S  When the noun ends in a VOWEL + Y, we add -S to the noun.  SingularPlural  boyboys  holidayholidays  keykeys  guyguys

CONSONANT+Y= IES - Y When the noun ends in a CONSONANT + Y, we remove Y and add -IES to the noun.  SingularPlural  partyparties  ladyladies  storystories  nannynannies  citycities

F/FF = VES If the noun ends in F or FE, we remove the F/FE and add -VES to the noun. SingularPlural  lifelives  leafleaves  thiefthieves  wifewives

IS = ES If the noun ends in IS, we change it to ES. SingularPlural  analysisanalyses  basisbases  Crisiscrises
