Regular Plural Nouns

• Most nouns in English are made into plural nouns by
  adding an s to the singular form.

• If the noun ends with an s, ch, sh, or x, an es is
  added to make the noun plural.

   Plural Nouns


Cat        Cats




Book              Books
Examples of Regular
         Plural Nouns
• If the noun ends with a ch, s, sh, x, or z add an 'es' to
  make it plural




         Box                          Boxes




        Watch                         Watches
What is an irregular
        plural noun?

• An irregular noun is a noun that becomes plural by
  changing it’s spelling in other ways than adding an
  “s” or “es” to the end of the word. Some of the ways
  can be a little tricky.
Examples of Irregular
       Plural Nouns
• Some irregular nouns take on the plural form by first
  changing the last letter of the word before adding
  “s.” Words that end in “f”or are a good example of
  this case. To make such a word plural, you change
  the “f” to “ve” and add an “s.”

                  Calf                       Knife




                                             Knives
                 Calves
Examples of Irregular
       Plural Nouns
• A tricky part about irregular plural words are
  sometimes they just change because there is a
  change in the vowel, change the word, or an add
  of different ending.

          Spider- MAN                   Foot




                                      Feet
          Men
Examples of Irregular
        Plural Nouns
• It’s rare but some irregular plural nouns have the
  same spelling as their singular form. They stay the
  same

                       Sheep




                       Moose
