Singular & Plural Nouns

Singular means one; plural means more than one. For most nouns, add -s to make the plural.

RuleSingular → Plural
add -s (most)book → books
ends in s, x, ch, sh → add -esbox → boxes, bus → buses
consonant + y → -iesbaby → babies
irregular (change form)man → men, child → children, foot → feet

one cat → three cats

one box → two boxes

one city → many cities

one child → two children

Most nouns just need -s. Learn the special ones (man/men, child/children, foot/feet, tooth/teeth) one by one.

Common mistake: Adding -s to irregular plurals ("childs," "mans"). The correct forms are children and men.
