    Examples Help! Definition and Meaning of a Plural Noun


    A noun is the name of any person, place or thing as John, London or book. But what is a Plural noun? The meaning or definition of a
    Plural noun is as follows:

    Definition & Meaning


    A Plural noun means more than one item. Examples of plural nouns
    are beds, boys, girls, books and cats. They are created by adding a letter
    's' to the end of a word or by adding 'es' such as in churches, boxes or
    witches.
    Definition & Meaning
    Examples Help - Some helpful rules
    There are some rules when working with English plurals:

     Just add an 's' to make most words plural - examples: cats, dogs, girls, bats
     If the noun ends with a ch, s, sh, x, or z add an 'es' to make it plural - examples: churches, boxes, witches, witnesses
     If the noun ends with a letter y and the letter before the y is a consonant
     change the letter y to a letter i then add es to make it a plural
     Examples: Sky to Skies & Army to Armies

    Irregular Plural Nouns
    Just when you think it's simple along comes the phrase 'irregular plural nouns'! What exactly does this mean? Most English nouns
    are very predictable ( or regular ) in the spelling of the plural form - you just add an 's' or 'es' which make 'regular' plural words. But
    there are always exceptions to the rule and these are referred to a 'irregular plural nouns! When irregular nouns change from their
    singular form to become plural, their spelling changes in a different way as in mouse and mice (or it may not change at all as in the
    word scissors). It would be incorrect English to add an 's' or 'es' to these 'irregular' words. The following list of irregular examples will
    make this definition much clearer:

    Irregular List
    Singular Plural Singular Plural
    analysis analyses appendix appendices
    bison bison cactus cacti
    calf calves child children
    elf elves foot feet
    goose geese knife knives
    leaf leaves life lives
    loaf loaves man men
    mouse mice person people
    scissors scissors tooth teeth
