Adding s-plurals
TEACHER INFORMATION
The plural of II word indicates more than one person or thing.
Adding an s is the most comnon way to make most singular words plural.
Forwards ending in y, with II vowel before the y, just add s; e.g. boy-boys.
Forwards ending in y. with II consonant before the y, change the y to i and
add as;
e.g. lady-ladies. Nole: Proper nouns do not change; add an s only: e.g. Mr
and Mrs Henry-The Henrys.
Some words retain the same form; e.g. sheep, aircraft. fish, deer.
Some words change conpletely; e.g. tooth-teeth, mouse-mice, child
children, foot-feet.
