Recall Time

Remember these rules!

• When a noun ends in a consonant followed by y, and add -ies to form the
plural. For example, party — parties, etc.

• If a noun ends with s, x, ch, or sh, add -es to form the plural.
For example, dish — dishes, etc.
• When a noun ends with f / fe, remove it and add -ves to make it plural.
For example, leaf — leaves, etc.

• Irregular nouns are completely different. For example, goose — geese, etc.
• Most other nouns are formed simply by adding -s to the end of the words.

For example, dog — dogs, etc.
