Where a singular noun ends in a sibilant sound /s/, /z/, //, //, /t/ or /d/ the plural is formed by adding /z/. The spelling adds -es, or -s if the singular already ends in -e: kiss kisses /ksz/ phase phases /fezz/ dish dishes /dz/ massage massages /msz/ or /msz/ witch witches /wtz/ judge judges /ddz/ When the singular form ends in a voiceless consonant (other than a sibilant) /p/, /t/, /k/, /f/ or // the plural is formed by adding /s/. The spelling adds -s: lap laps /lps/ cat cats /kts/ clock clocks /klks/ cuff cuffs /kfs/ death deaths /ds/ For all other words (i.e. words ending in vowels or voiced non-sibilants) the regular plural adds /z/, represented orthographically by -s: boy boys /bz/ girl girls /rlz/ chair chairs /trz/

Plurals of nouns in -o With nouns ending in o preceded by a consonant, the plural in many cases is spelled by adding -es (pronounced /z/): hero heroes (or heros) potato potatoes volcano volcanoes or volcanos However many nouns of foreign origin, including almost all Italian loanwords, add only -s: hetero heteros photo photos zero zeros piano pianos kimono kimonos Plurals of nouns in -y Nouns ending in a y preceded by a consonant usually drop the y and add -ies (pronounced /iz/): cherry cherries lady ladies

Definite article The only definite article in English is the word the, denoting person(s) or thing(s) already mentioned, under discussion, implied, or otherwise presumed familiar to the listener or reader. The is the most commonly used word in the English language. "The" can be used with both singular and plural nouns, with nouns of any gender, and with nouns that start with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different articles in those situations.

Distinction between a and an The form an is used before words starting with a vowel sound, regardless of whether the word begins with a vowel letter. This avoids the glottal stop (momentary silent pause) that would otherwise be required between a and a following vowel sound. Where the next word begins with a consonant sound, a is used. Examples: a box; an apple; an SSO (pronounced "es-es-oh"); a HEPA filter (HEPA is pronounced as a word rather than as letters); an hour (the h is silent); a one-armed bandit (pronounced "won..."); an heir (pronounced "air"); a unicorn (pronounced "yoo-"); an herb in American English (where the h is silent), but a herb in British English.
