BI Y2 2.Singular and Plural nouns

Notes for Singular and Plural:

The regular plural form of nouns is made by simply adding an “s” to the end of the word.

But

·       

Words that end with X, Z, S. SH and  CH, add an es to the end

Example: dish – dishes

·        Words that end  with a CONSONANT + Y, change the y to ies

Example: party - parties

·        Words that end with a VOWEL + Y, simply add an s

Example: toy – toys

If the form is singular, write the plural form. If the form is plural, write the regular form.
