PLURAL NOUNS (Basic) (EXERCISE B29E71)



















Nouns become plural when they refer to more than one thing. 

1. Most nouns add – s in the plural:   Book – books
                                                                     Student – students         

2.  If the noun ends in –s, -sh, or –ch, add –es:    Bus - buses
                                                                                        Church - churches
                                                                                              Watch - watches

3.   If the noun ends in a consonant + y, the y changes to –ies:
                                                                   Country - countries
                                                                            Party-parties

           But if the noun ends in a vowel + y, the y does not change:
                                                                   Boy - boys
                                                                             Day- days

4.   Some nouns are irregular:    Child – children
                                                            Woman - women
                                                                  Person - people
                                                                  Man- men
