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
·         Most singular nouns can be made plural by just adding an S at the end. Examples: pencil/   pencils, apple/ apples
·         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 in F or FE change this to a V and add ES. Example: leaf/ leaves
·         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
