practicing new skills A plural noun indicates that there is more than one of
that nouns (while a singular noun indicates that there is

(plural).

1. Most nouns form their plural by adding –s. Ex.
Nation – nations

es. Ex: gas – gasses, Glass – glasses, Box – boxes,
Dish – dishes.

change y to I and add –es. Ex: pony – ponies
4. For nouns that ends in y, preceded by a vowel,
simply add –s. Ex: monkey - monkeys.

contralto – contraltos Cameo - Cameos For some,
add –es. Ex: hero – heroes.
6. For nouns ending in f or fe, change f or fe too ve
and add –es. Ex. Shelf – shelves Wife – wives
There are few exemption. Some merely add –s. Ex:
roof – roofs Belief – beliefs dwarf –dwarfs.
