Important English Lesson

Here are the grammar rules in changing singular words to plural that I learned in my English lesson this week.

1. When a noun ends with f or fe, we sometimes change the f or fe to v and add es.

Example: wife - wives
self - selves
wolf - wolves

2. When a noun ends in y with a consonant before it, we change the y to i and add es.

Example: family - families
enemy - enemies
puppy - puppies

3. When a noun ends in y with a vowel before it, we add s to make it plural.

Example: boy - boys
toy - toys
key - keys

4. There are some nouns that we must change the spelling to make them plural.

Example: child - children
goose - geese
ox - oxen
mouse - mice

5. There are some nouns that stay the same for both singular and plural.

Example: Japanese - Japanese
sheep - sheep
salmon - salmon
trout - trout
deer - deer
