Plural
Nouns
Plural
nouns
name
more
than
one
person,
place,
thing,
or
idea.
There
are
different
ways
to
form
plural
nouns.
Look
at
the
examples
below
to
help
you
know
how
to
spell
plural
nouns.
• Rule
1:
Usually
you
just
add
s
to
a
singular
noun
to
make
it
plural.
paper/papers
drink/drinks
school/schools
• Rule
2:
However,
if
a
singular
noun
ends
in
ch,
sh,
x,
z,
s,
or
ss,
then
you
need
to
add
es
to
make
the
noun
plural.
fox/foxes
bush/bushes
dish/dishes
• Rule
3:
When
a
noun
ends
in
a
vowel
and
y,
then
just
add
s.
toy/toys
key/keys
donkey/donkeys
• Rule
4:
If
a
singular
noun
ends
in
a
consonant
followed
by
y,
then
change
the
y
to
i
and
add
es
to
make
the
noun
plural.
baby/babies
city/cities
candy/candies
• Rule
5:
For
nouns
that
end
in
f
or
fe,
change
the
f
or
fe
to
v
and
add
es.
knife/knives
half/halves
shelf/shelves
• Rule
6:
For
most
nouns
that
end
in
o,
just
add
an
s
to
make
it
plural.
All
nouns
that
end
in
a
vowel
and
an
o
just
need
an
s
added
in
the
plural
form.
solo/solos
logo/logos
studio/studios
• Rule
7:
Some
nouns
that
end
in
o
are
spelled
with
es
to
make
the
plural.
buffalo/buffaloes
hero/heroes
tomato/tomatoes
• Rule
8:
Some
nouns
do
not
follow
these
rules.
They
are
irregular
plural
forms.
The
spelling
of
these
nouns
will
need
to
be
memorized.
ox/oxen
mouse/mice
child/children
• Rule
9:
Some
nouns
do
not
change
from
singular
to
plural.
These
nouns
have
the
same
singular
and
plural
forms.
fish/fish
moose/moose
headquarters/headquarters
sheep/sheep
species/species
deer/deer
series/series
