Some nouns ending in 'y' after a consonant are made plural by changing the 'y' to 'i' and adding 'es', such as 'berry' to 'berries'. Some nouns are pluralized by internal vowel change, while some have the same singular and plural form without adding 's' or 'es', like 'sheep'. Additionally, some nouns only take 's' in their plural form and are not used in their singular form, including 'glasses' and 'thanks'.

Death of the Author by Roland Barthes .pptx
- Roland Barthes argues that the meaning of a text depends on the reader's interpretation rather than the author's intentions. He asserts that a work's unity lies in how it is received by audiences, not in its origins or creator.

Instead, it emphasizes the reader's role in deriving new insights and interpretations unconstrained by any single definitive meaning.
- By arguing that the author's role ends as soon as they fix the text in writing, Barthes elevates the status of the reader over the author and asserts that any knowledge gained comes from

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard by Thomas Gray.pptx
The document provides biographical information about the English poet Thomas Gray, noting that he was born in 1716 in London, died in 1771 in Cambridge, and is best known for his poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard."

The poem compares the harshness of winter weather to the harshness of human nature.

Over two stanzas, the poet asks the winter wind to blow and the sky to freeze, noting that these physical hardships are less severe than the emotional hardship of unfaithful friends forgetting past kindnesses. The poem promotes finding simplicity and truth in nature rather than in the falseness of human relationships.
