Plurals
Almost all common nouns
can be plural
Most only need to add the
letter”s” to the end of the word

s
When the common noun
finishes with the letters:
s
ss
sh ch
x
z
We must add “es”

watch  watches
When a common noun finishes with the letter
“o”, we distinguish that ones derive from Latin,
old Greek or Italian, and the others.
video  videos radio


The words of Latin, old Greek or Italian origin follow the general rule: they add “s” to the end of singular.
photo photos

The other words form the plural by adding “es”
tomato  tomatoes
potato  potatoes
When the common noun
finishes with letter “fe” or “f”,
we change the “f” in “v” and
add “es”.
When the common noun
finishes in “y” and is
preceded by a vowel, the
letter “y” remains the same
and we add “s”, but if the
“y” is preceded by a
consonant, the “y” becomes
“i” and we add “es”.
