🌟 Regular Plurals: How to Make Words Plural 🌟
| Plural with -s |
Most nouns just add -s to become plural. ✅
Example:
- dog → dogs 🐶🐶
- book → books 📚📚
- pen → pens ✏️✏️
| Plural with -es |
Add -es if a noun ends in s, ss, sh, ch, x, or z.
Example:
- bus → buses 🚌🚌
- brush → brushes 🖌️🖌️
- box → boxes 📦📦
| Plural with -ies |
If a noun ends in y after a consonant, change y → ies.
Example:
- baby → babies 👶👶
- city → cities 🌆🌆
- party → parties 🎉🎉
⚠️ Tip: If the y comes after a vowel, just add -s.
- boy → boys 👦👦
- key → keys 🗝️🗝️
| Plural with -ves |
Some nouns ending in f or fe change to -ves.
Example:
- leaf → leaves 🍃🍃
- knife → knives 🔪🔪
- wolf → wolves 🐺🐺
⚠️ Tip: Not all nouns ending in f/fe follow this rule.
- roof → roofs 🏠🏠
- chief → chiefs 👮♂️👮♂️
