PLURALS - BASIC LEVEL

This information is on      

Spelling for Adults - learn to love it.

Plural Spelling Rules

boys     countries   radios    heroes    boxes    rulers   women   children    dogs washes   lorries

Do you know why and when we add -ies, -ves, -s and -es to plural nouns?

We're going to look at these important plural spelling rules then there's a spelling test so read carefully. 

If you want more information and watch a video about the individual rules click on the links below.

1. Add -s to regular plurals.  Adding an s is all you need to do to form a regular plural:
file/files, centre/centres, girl/girls, book/books, pen/pens, computer/computers.

2. Adding -es 

Words ending in -ch, -s, -sh, -x, -z  add -es to form a plural
wash/washes, box/boxes, match/matches, glass/glasses

There's one exception to this rule. If the -ch ending is pronounced with a 'k' then add -s (stomach/stomachs)

3. Changing -f or -fe to -ves or -s  

Words ending in -f or -fe change to -ves or -sknife/knives,  life/lives, wife/wives, shelf/shelves

*exceptions add -s - roof/roofs, proof/proofs, chief/chiefs.*These words could be either -ves or -s - scarf/scarves or scarfs,dwarf/dwarves or dwarfs

4. Change -y to -ies or -s 

a. If the word ends in a vowel-a,e,i,o,u, + y then just add -s.
boy/boys, journey/journeys, key/keys, tray/trays.

b. If the word ends in a consonant + y then it changes to -ies country/countries, baby/babies, body/bodies, memory/memories

5. Adding -s  or -es to  words ending in O 

You can either add an -s or -es to words ending in -O or sometimes they're spelled either way.

a.If a word ends in a vowel-a,e,i,o,u + -O then we sometimes add -s.radio/radios, stereo/stereos, video/videos

b. If a words ends in consonant + -O then we sometimes add -s or -es.No rules for this - you just have to learn them or use a dictionary.

kilo/kilos, zero/zeros, piano/pianos, photo/photos
but hero/heroes, potato/potatoes, volcano/volcanoes, tomato/tomatoes.

6. Irregular plurals

a woman/some women, a man/5 men, child/children, person/people, tooth/teeth, foot/feet, mouse/mice, penny/pence

7. No change between plural and singular.
