Singular noun And Plural Noun - Class 2 English Grammar When there is only one of naming word (noun), it is said to be a singular noun. When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the plural. We can add –S, -es, -ves or ies to show that there is more than one noun. For example, we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. 1. Noun ending with –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss form plurals by taking –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Box – Boxes Church – Churches Class – Classes Potato – Potatoes 2. Now, look at these pairs of words. Wife, thief, life. These words do not form the plurals by adding –s or –es. Examples:- Wolf – Wolves Knife – Knives Scarf – Scarves Loaf – Loaves Thief – Thieves. The f or fe at the end has changed to -ves. 3. A noun ending with –y becomes plural by replacing the -Y with –ies. Example Family – Families Lily – Lilies Cherry – Cherries Candy – Candies Lady – Ladies Download practice English worksheet
