Nouns ending in 8, X, 2, sh, or soft ch, and nouns that end in i, o, u, or y, preceded each by a consonant, are made plural by adding es to the singular. (Y is changed to i when adding es.) In our language, as written in England, the plural of story, or storey, meaning floor, is storeys. We write stories. We notice these interesting differences when reading books printed in England. A few nouns in o are exceptions to the above rule, and add s only. See opposite page. Nouns ending in o or y, preceded by a vowel, add : to the singular to form the plural. Nouns ending in silent e, preceded by the sound of 8, x, z, j, sh, or soft ch, add s to the singular. Some nouns ending in f and fe change f to v and add es, and others add only 8 to form the plural. The plurals of letters, figures, and other characters are formed by adding the apostrophe () and 8, that is ( 's), to the singular. EXCEPTION. — Wharf has both forms, wharfs and wharves. Staff becomes staves in the plural, but its compounds are regular; as, flagstaff, flagstaffs. The plural of many nouns is irregular, as man, men. Give the singular form of each of the following nouns and the rule, if any, for forming the plural : roses axes cargoes dresses galleys griefs bamboos wedges fancies latches folios calicoes buggies gulfs pebbles squashes thieves classes shelves sopranos hoofs haunches pulleys lassos proofs pianos chimneys violets pansies tomatoes knives buffaloes studios gifts sheaves heroes colleges scarfs boxes ratios libraries negroes images loaves breeches berries hearses calves sponges races mustaches valleys flies octavos vetoes damages lilies tassels radishes beeves potatoes gnues chiefs glasses ledges phrases daisies altos strifes porticoes markets matches purses guesses dominoes mottoes volcanoes halves thrushes lives turkeys poppies reefs mosquitoes chaises elves twos monkeys wolves cuckoos cuffs trios taxes kangaroos duties dwarfs safes waifs leaves flashes horses torpedoes coaches wretches lasses echoes selves cages tornadoes adieus zeros fifes spices bushes foxes breezes pennies gases 's stories women children oxen weaknesses 3's ?'s staffs (meaning officers) |
