Plural nouns
If there are 2 or more than 2 people, places or things, it
is called Plural noun
If a singular noun ends in sh; ch, ss or x, we add ‘es’ to
form a plural noun
Examples: watch- watches ,
batch-batches, kiss-kisses, box-boxes, match-matches, dish -dishes, witch-
witches.
He sells
watches
They have
two batches
My son gives
me kisses
There are
some boxes
There are 3
dishes
There are 3
witches in the garden
If a singular noun ends in ‘by, ry , we change ‘y’ into I and add es to form a
plural noun
Examples: baby-babies, berry-berries,
cherry-cherries, curry-curries, lorry -lorries country- countries,
secretary-secretaries
I have two
babies
Her grandfather ate 4 berries
I like
cherries
My mother cooked 3 curries
That person
owns 10 lorries
If a singular noun ends in oy, ey, ay, we add s to form a
plural noun
Examples: toy- toys, boy-boys, day-
days, ray- rays, donkey- donkeys, key- keys, way-ways.
I have
many toys
The
boy are playing
The sun rays harm skin
I want
two days’ time

ways to reach that place
We can use ‘s’ to form plural nouns with any other noun.
Examples: Pen-pens, sin-sins ,
son-sons, gun-guns, book-books, lie- lies, door-doors etc..
Where are my
pens?
