Nouns 1: Singular vs. Plural
Practice nouns 1: singular vs. plural with interactive fill-in-the-blank exercises. This unit is part of the foundations level of our English grammar course, designed for PTE and IELTS test takers.
1
A noun is a person, place, or thing. Singular means there is only one. Plural means there are two or more. For most nouns, you simply add an 's' to the end to make it plural, like 'cat' to 'cats'.
2
If a word ends in 's', 'sh', 'ch', or 'x', you must add 'es' to make it plural. For example, 'bus' becomes 'buses', and 'box' becomes 'boxes'.
3
If a word ends with a consonant and a 'y', you drop the 'y' and add 'ies'. So, 'city' becomes 'cities'. Finally, some words are irregular and completely change, like 'man' to 'men' or 'child' to 'children'.
