Plural Nouns 

Noun: 

• A noun is a naming word that specifies the name of any person, place, thing, or idea. 
• Nouns can sometimes be singular, and sometimes they can be plural. 

PLURAL NOUN: 

• In general, we form plural nouns by adding the letter “S” to the end of the noun. 
  • E.g.:
    • Cat- Cats, 
    • Dog-Dogs, 
    • Egg- Eggs, 
    • Pet- Pets 

• We add the letters “ES” to the nouns, which ends in ‘s’, ‘ch’, ‘sh’, ‘x’, ‘z’.  
  • E.g.:
    • Beach- Beaches 
    • Wish- Wishes 
    • Waltz- Waltzes 
    • Fox- Foxes 

• When a noun ends with “F”, or “FE”, we remove the F or FE part and add “VES” to the end. 
  • E.g.:
    • Knife- Knives 
    • Leaf- Leaves 
    • Wife- Wives 

• When a noun ends with a vowel and “Y” at the end, we add “S” in the word while making it plural. 
  • E.g.:
    • Birthday- Birthdays 
    • Valley- Valleys 
    • Chimney- Chimneys 
    • Essay- Essays
