Most singular nouns are made plural by simply putting an -s at the end. There are many
different rules regarding pluralization depending on what letter a noun ends in. Irregular
nouns do not follow plural noun rules, so they must be memorized or looked up in the
dictionary.

RULES:

1) To make regular nouns plural, add -s to the end.

Example:

cat – cats

house – houses

2. If the singular noun ends in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add -es to the end to
make it plural.

Example:

Glass -- glasses

bus – buses

lunch – lunches

tax – taxes

3. If the noun ends with -f or -fe, the f is often changed to -ve before adding the
-s to form the plural version.

wife – wives

- 21 -
wolf – wolves

Exceptions:

roof – roofs

belief – beliefs

chef – chefs

chief – chiefs

4. If a singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a consonant,

change the ending to -ies to make the noun plural.

city – cities

puppy – puppies

5 If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply
add an -s to make it plural.

ray – rays

boy – boys

6 If the singular noun ends in -o, add -es to make it plural.

potato – potatoes

tomato – tomatoes

Exceptions:

photo – photos

piano – pianos

Plural Noun Rules for Irregular Nouns

Irregular nouns follow no specific rules, so it’s best to memorize these or look up the
proper pluralization in the dictionary.

child – children

goose – geese

man – men

woman – women

tooth – teeth

foot – feet

- 22 -
mouse – mice

person – people
