GENERAL RULES.

To form the plural of a noun, we generally add an “s”: cup—cups; dog—dogs; cat—cats.
If the noun ends in –s, -ss, -x ,-ch, -tch, -sh and-o, we add the ending –es: church-churches; box-
boxes.
Yet there are some exceptions: piano—pianos, photo—photos; video— videos, disco-discos.
For words ending in –f and –fe, in order to make plural we follow the next rule. We change
- f or -fe to -v before adding -es, e.g. leaf - leaves.
The exceptions are: roof - roofs, proof-proofs, chief - chiefs, belief - beliefs, chef - chefs,
cafe - cafes,
handkerchief - handkerchiefs, safe - safes.
If the noun ends is –y that is preceded by a vowel, do not make any changes when adding –s, e.g.
toy-toys.
If the letter –y is preceded by a consonant, change -y to -i before adding-es, e.g. lady- ladies.
