Plural nouns 1. We normally form plural nouns by adding –s to the singular :

SINGULAR PLURAL one apple two apples

a student some students one boy three boys 2. But we form some plural nouns differently:

a) we add –es to the singular :

SINGULAR PLURAL one bus two buses

a dress some dresses one sandwich five sandwiches one box ten boxes a dish some dishes

one tomato three tomatoes

b) we change “ consonant + final –y “ into – ies :

SINGULAR PLURAL family families

country countries

c) we change “ - f / -fe “ into –ves :

SINGULAR PLURAL shelf shelves
