FAQ

What are the rules for making English nouns plural?

Most English nouns add -s to form the plural. Nouns ending in -s, -x, -z, -ch, or -sh add -es. Nouns ending in consonant + y change y to -ies. Nouns ending in -f or -fe change to -ves. Some nouns ending in -o add -es.

What are irregular plural nouns?

Irregular plural nouns don't follow standard rules. Common examples include man/men, woman/women, child/children, foot/feet, tooth/teeth, mouse/mice, and person/people.

Which English nouns have the same singular and plural form?

Some nouns are unchanged in plural form, including sheep, fish, deer, species, series, and aircraft. These are called zero-plural or invariable nouns.
