Plural Noun Rules

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

e.g. cat – cats
house – houses

2. If the singular noun ends in –s, –ss, –sh, –ch, –x, or –z, you
usually add -es to the end to make it plural.
e.g. iris – irises
church - churches
brush - brushes
lunch – lunches
tax – taxes

3. In some cases, singular nouns ending in –s or –z require that

you double the –s or –z prior to adding the –es for pluralization.
e.g. bus – busses
fez – fezzes

4. For most nouns that end with –f or –ef, you add an –s to form
the plural version. Be aware of exceptions, however. For some
nouns ending this way, you must change the –f or –ef to –ve
before adding the –s.

e.g roof – roofs

belief – beliefs
chef – chefs
chief – chiefs

Exceptions:
e.g. wife – wives
wolf – wolves

SES - Lesson Plan Page 2

5. If a singular noun ends in –y and the letter before the –y is a

consonant, you usually change the ending to –ies to make
the noun plural.
e.g.city – cities
puppy – puppies

6. If the singular noun ends in –y and the letter before the –y is

a vowel, simply add an –s to make it plural.
e.g. ray – rays
boy – boys

7. If the singular noun ends in –o, you usually add –es to make
it plural.
e.g. potato – potatoes
tomato – tomatoes

Exceptions:
photo – photos
piano – pianos
halo – halos

With the unique word volcano, you can apply the standard
pluralization for words that end in –o or not. It’s your choice!
Both of the following are correct:
volcanoes
volcanos
