Nouns review for test next week-Rules for Forming Plurals
Remember that a plural noun names more than one person, place, thing or idea

Rules for forming plurals
1. Most singular nouns you add –s. Ex: street-street
2. Nouns ending in s, x, ch, or sh add an –es. Ex: dress-dresses, ax-axes, bench-benches, dish-dishes.
3. Nouns ending with a vowel and a y you and an –s. Ex:valley-valleys
4. Nouns ending with a consonant and y you change the y to an i and add an –es. Ex: city-cities, cranberry-cranberries.
Many nouns don’t become plural according to the regular rules. The following shows you the different patterns for forming the plurals of these nouns.
1. Nouns ending in f or fe- change the f to v and add: es to some nouns. Add -s to other nouns.
Ex: life-lives, calf-calves, leaf-leaves, cliff-cliffs

2. Nouns ending with a vowel and o: add an –s
Ex: rodeo-rodeos, radio-radios, studio-studios

3. Nouns ending with a consonant and o add: -s to some nouns, add –ed to other nouns.
Ex: solo-solos, piano-pianos, hero-heroes, echo-echoes, tomato-tomatoes

4. Nouns that have special plural spellings: foot-feet, woman-women

5. Nouns that remain the same in the singular and the plural: trout-trout, deer-deer, sheep-sheep
