Plural nouns

If we want to make a noun plurar we just ad –S to the ending, for example: Car – Cars. Window – Windows.
But there are some rules as well:

 If the singular noun ends in ‑s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add ‑es to the end to make it plural.
Ex: truss – trusses, bus – buses, marsh – marshes, lunch – lunches, tax – taxes, blitz – blitzes

 If the noun ends with -f or -fe, the f is often changed to -ve before adding the -s to form the
plural version. Ex: wife – wives, wolf – wolves
Exceptions: roof – roofs, belief – beliefs, chef – chefs, chief – chiefs

 If a singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a consonant, change the ending to -ies
to make the noun plural.
Ex: city – cities, puppy – puppies

If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply add an -s to
make it plural. Ex: ray – rays, boy – boys

 If the singular noun ends in -o, add -es to

make it plural.Ex: potato – potatoes, tomato
– tomatoes
Exceptions: photo – photos, piano – pianos, halo – halos

 There are nouns that don’t follow any rule, they are irregular
Ex: Dice – Die, Goose – Geese, etc.

Activities:
1) After reading the rules for plural nouns, complete the table with the correct plural form of the nous. Put
each noun in the correct column.

Cat - house - man - leaf - fish - child - hero - boy - person - box - city - street - potato - apple - car - baby - match -
dish - quiz - bee - day - radio - country - book - watch - back - tooth - foot - year - bush - key - lorry – mango
