Plurals (part 1)

Making a noun plural is easy peasy. Why do so many people get it wrong?


You just add a plural -S


book books
cake cakes
elephant elephants
thought thoughts
word words




Add -ES to words already ending in -s, -x -ch (where the ending -es is pronounced)




dress dresses
box boxes
alias aliases
church churches


compare lochs though




Test yourself:


Give the plural of
  1. carpet
  2. drama
  3. ditch
  4. business
  5. storm
  6. fox
  7. address
  8. witch
