PLURAL NOUN RULES
A noun
that names only one thing is a singular noun. Example: dog
A noun
that name more than one thing is a plural noun. Example: cats
· Nouns ending in X, Z, S, SH and CH form the plural by adding an ES at the end. Example: dish/ dishes
· Nouns ending with a consonant + Y change the Y to i and add ES. Example: baby/ babies
· Nouns ending with a vowel + Y just add S. Example: toy/ toys

· Nouns ending with a consonant + O add ES. Example: potato/ potatoes
· Nouns ending with a vowel + O just add S. Example: radio/ radios
· Some nouns have irregular plural form which means that don’t follow any of the plural rules. Example: mouse/ mice
· Some nouns use the same singular and plural form. Example: 1 sheep/ 2 sheep
