Plurals of nouns are utilized to specify when there is more than one person, place, animal, or thing.
There are some basic rules to follow with framing plural:
- The method for forming nouns plural is to add an “-s” at the end of the noun.
- If the noun ends in “-s,” “-x,” “-z,” or with a group of consonants, such as “-sh,” “-ch,” or “- tch,” add “-es” to make it plural.
- If the noun ends in “-y” and it is followed by a consonant, we change “y” to “i” and add “-es.”
- For the nouns that end in “-f,” “-fe,” or “-lf,” we replace the endings with “-ves” to make them plural.
- Many words that end in “-f,” “-fe,” or “-lf” are simply made plural with an “-s” on the end.
- Words ending in “-ff” or “-ffe,” simply add “-s” to the end.
- Some nouns that end in –o, can add either –s or –es to form the plural.
- Nouns taken from Latin or Greek maintain their original forms in the plural.
- Every verb in a clause or sentence must agree in number and person with its subject.
- A singular (one) subject is always preceded by the singular form of the verb.
- A plural subject is always preceded by the plural form of the verb.
- Apostrophes are utilized to shape plurals of lowercase individual letters and lowercase abbreviations.
