Grammar

A noun is the word with which we name people, animals, places, things and
express ideas: Mike, dog, England, book, love.

1. To form the plural of English nouns, the rule of adding "S" to the singular
predominates. The plural "S" is pronounced as follows: [s] after voiced
consonant (p, t, k, f, ). It is pronounced [ z ] after a voiced vowel or consonant (m,
n , r, l, etc.)

desk – desks /desks/

pencil – pencils /péns∂lz/

pen – pens [pen]z

map – maps /mæps/

flag – flags /flægz/

student – students [stjudënt]s

chair – chairs /che∂rz/

Roof - roofs

2. Wheezing terminations "S, CH, SH, X, Z" take "ES" and pronounce [ iz ]

class - classes [clæsiz]

church - churches [ch∂rchiz]

fox – foxes [faksiz]

waltz – waltzes [wóltziz]

3. Those ending in "Y" preceded by a consonant, change "Y" to "IES":

body - bodies, fly-flies
ˈbɑdi - ˈbɑdiz, flaɪ-flaɪz

dictionary- dictionaries, cry - screams

ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛri- ˈdɪkʃəˌnɛriz, kraɪ - skrimz

4. There are names which form the plural irregularly; let us see some:

knife - knives, child - children, man - man, woman - woman

naɪf - naɪvz, ʧaɪld - ˈʧɪldrən, mæn - mæn, ˈwʊmən - ˈwʊmən
