Plurals Summary Chart This chart is a summary of the nine spelling rules that appear below, all in one handy place. It is great as a quick reference guide for students. Regular Nouns Nouns where we add an -S to make them plural. There are no other changes to the noun. The example nouns are car, dog, book, house, and apple. Nouns ending in S, CH, SH, X, Z Nouns with these endings and where we need to add -ES to make them plural. The example nouns are bus, match, dish, box, and quiz. Nouns ending in F or FE Nouns with these endings and how we remove them and add -VES to make the nouns plural. The example nouns are leaf, wolf, life, and knife. There are two exceptions to this rule that also appear in this chart: roofs and cliffs. Nouns ending in VOWEL + Y These are regular nouns where we just add the -S to the plural. The example nouns are day, key, boy, guy, and donkey. This chart exists to be able to compare it with the next chart about nouns ending in a consonant + Y. Nouns ending in CONSONANT + Y We remove the end Y and add -IES to these nouns to make them plural. The example nouns are city, baby, story, party, and country. Irregular Nouns These are nouns that have a completely different plural form compared to its singular form. The example nouns are man, child, foot, tooth, mouse, and person. Nouns ending in VOWEL + O These are regular nouns where we just add the S to make them plural. The example nouns are zoo, radio, stereo, video, and kangaroo. This chart exists to be able to compare it with the next chart about nouns ending in a consonant + O. Nouns ending in CONSONANT + O We add -ES to these nouns to make them plural. The example nouns are hero, echo, tomato, and potato. We also show some exceptions to the rule where we only add an -S. These words are piano and photo. Nouns that don't change in plural These are the nouns that have the same form in singular and plural.
