PRONOUNS
 DEFINITE AND INDEFINITE ARTICLES
In English there are three articles: a, an, and the. Articles are used before nouns or
noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.
 The definite article (the) is used before a noun to indicate that the identity of the
noun is known to the reader.
Example: The English test will be on February 20th.
The students are studying hard to pass in Math.
 The indefinite article (a, an) is used before a noun that is general or when its
identity is not known.
Example: We played a great game.
It was an interesting concert.
 We use some before plural nouns.
Example: We watched some great movies.
We went to some interesting concerts last week.
 Plural of nouns
There are many plural noun rules, and because we use nouns so frequently when writing, it’s
important to know all of them! The correct spelling of plurals usually depends on what letter
the singular noun ends in.
• 1 To make regular nouns plural, add ‑s to the end.
cat – cats house – houses
• 2 If the singular noun ends in ‑s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add ‑es to the end to make
it plural.truss – trusses bus – buses marsh – marshes
lunch – lunches tax – taxes blitz – blitzes
• 3 If a singular noun ends in ‑y and the letter before the -y is a consonant, change
the ending to ‑ies to make the noun plural.
city – cities puppy – puppies
• 4 If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply
add an -s to make it plural.
ray – rays boy – boys
• 5 If the singular noun ends in ‑o, add ‑es to make it plural.
potato – potatoes tomato – tomatoes
Exceptions: photo – photos piano – pianos

 Some nouns don’t change at all when they’re pluralized.

sheep – sheep series – series species – species

 You need to see these nouns in context to identify them as singular or plural.
Consider the following sentence:
Example: Mark caught one fish, but I caught three fish.

Plural Noun Rules for Irregular Nouns

Irregular nouns follow no specific rules, so it’s best to memorize these or look up the
proper pluralization in the dictionary.
child – children man – men woman – women tooth – teeth
foot – feet mouse – mice person – people
