    Singular and Plural

    The word singular means just one of something, for


    example a house or a dog.

    The word plural means more than one of something,


    for example houses or dogs.

    The word singular is very similar to single. This can


    help us remember the meanings of singular and
    plural.
    Most singular nouns form the plural by
    adding –s.

    singular form plural form


    boat boats
    car cars
    house houses
    tree trees
    t
    Singular nouns ending in ‘s’, ‘x’, ‘z’, ‘ch’ or ‘sh’
    form the plural by adding –es.

    singular form plural form


    bus buses
    box boxes
    church churches
    wish wishes

    t
    Try saying ‘buss’, ‘boxs’ or ‘wishs’ and you will see why nouns which end
    in a hissing sound use –es in the plural!
    Singular nouns ending in a consonant and the letter ‘y’
    form the plural by dropping the ‘y’ and adding –ies.

    singular form plural form


    penny pennies
    baby babies
    daisy daisies
    spy spies
    Singular nouns ending in a vowel and the letter ‘y’
    form the plural by simply adding –s.

    singular form plural form


    boy boys
    toy toys
    valley valleys
    tray trays
    So, most of the time, we make a plural noun by
    adding an -s, -es or –ies.

    -ies.
    BUT
    The English language has some rule-breaking nouns
    in it. These are nouns that have their own special
    rules or spellings for making them into plurals.
    Some tricky nouns are the same in the singular
    and the plural forms.

    singular form plural form

    sheep sheep
    fish fish
    deer deer
    aircraft aircraft

    species species
    Some nouns are completely irregular and do not
    follow any of these patterns.

    These plurals are called mutated (or mutating) plurals.

    For example:

    woman women foot feet


    More Examples of Irregular (Mutated)
    Plural Nouns
