Plural nouns
To talk about more than one thing, we usually add -s to the noun. Some plurals are irregular.
Regular plurals
Add -s to most nouns. Add -es after s, ss, sh, ch, x (bus -> buses, box -> boxes). For consonant + y, change y to ies (city -> cities).
- •one book -> two books
- •one box -> three boxes
- •one city -> many cities
Irregular plurals
Some common words do not follow the rule. You need to learn them: man -> men, woman -> women, child -> children, foot -> feet, person -> people.
- •one child -> two children
- •one man -> three men
- •one foot -> two feet
