    SINGULAR & PLURAL NOUNS

    REGULAR PLURALS

    We normally form plural nouns by adding -s to the singular noun.

    We add -es if the singular noun ends in -s , -sh, -ch or -x.


    bus > buses
    dish > dishes
    church > churches
    box > boxes

    Some nouns ending in -o add -es to form the plural::


    tomato > tomatoes
    potato > potatoes
    hero > heroes

    Other nouns ending in -o, add -s only:


    piano > pianos
    radio > radios

    Nouns ending in consonant + -y, change the -y into -i and add -ies:
    city > cities
    baby > babies
    family > families
