Plural word forms are used to show that there is more than one of something
e.g. kitchens is the plural form of the word kitchen.
Add an S
This is the most common way to make a plural e.g. bike- bikes.
Words ending in y
If there is a consonant before the y, change the y to i before adding es, e.g. lady- ladies.
If there is a vowel before the y, just add s, e.g. toy - toys.
(Vowel - The five vowels in the alphabet are a e i o u .
Consonants - All the other letters in the alphabet that are not vowels are called consonants).
Words ending in x, sh, ch or s
For words ending in x, sh, ch or s add es, e.g. church = churches.
Words ending in -f or -fe
For most of these words, change the f or fe to v before adding es, e.g. leaf - leaves.
Watch out for the words that don't fit this rule, e.g. chief - chiefs. To help work out the exceptions to the rule listen for the change in the sound when you say the word.
some exceptions: roof = roofs, chief = chiefs, belief = beliefs, chef = chefs, cafe = cafes, handkerchief = handkerchiefs, safe = safes.
