[center][font:abc7=Times New Roman][size=16][b][b][i][u]Rules to help spell plurals[/u][/i][/b]
[/b][/size][/font][/center]
[font:abc7=Times New Roman][size=16][b][b]Add an S[/b]
This is the most common way to make a plural e.g. bik[color:abc7=red]e[/color]- bike[color:abc7=red]s[/color].
[b]Words ending in y[/b] [/b][/size][/font][font:abc7=Times New Roman][size=16][b]
If there is a [b]consonant[/b] before the y, change the y to i before adding es, e.g. lad[color:abc7=red]y[/color]- lad[color:abc7=red]ies[/color].
If there is a [b]vowel[/b] before the y, just add s, e.g. to[color:abc7=red]y[/color] - toy[color:abc7=red]s[/color].
([b]Vowel[/b] - The five vowels in the alphabet are [b]a [/b][b]e [/b][b]i [/b][b]o [/b][b]u [/b].
[b]Consonants[/b] - All the other letters in the alphabet that are not vowels are called consonants).
[b]Words ending in x, sh, ch or s[/b]
For words ending in x, sh, ch or s add es, e.g. chur[color:abc7=red]ch[/color] = church[color:abc7=red]es[/color].
[b]Words ending in f or fe[/b]
For most of these words, change the f or fe to v before adding es, e.g. lea[color:abc7=red]f[/color] - lea[color:abc7=red]ves[/color].
Watch out for the words that don't fit this rule, e.g.
chief - chiefs. To help work out the exceptions to the rule listen for
the change in the sound when you say the word.
some exceptions: roof = roofs, chief = chiefs, belief =
beliefs, chef = chefs, cafe = cafes, handkerchief = handkerchiefs, safe
= safes.
[b]Irregular plurals[/b]
Irregular plurals are plural word forms that don't follow any of the plural rules! .e.g.
[b]Singular[/b][b]Plural [/b]man
-men,woman -women, child -children, foot -feet ,tooth -teeth ,mouse
-mice ,deer-deer, sheep-sheep,ox-oxen ,fish-fish or fishes
