Answer 2

Explanation:

Count nouns can be separated into individual units and counted. They usually have both a singular and a plural form. Most English nouns are count nouns.

one phone, two phones

one dog, two dogs

one shirt, two shirts

However, a few countable nouns only have a plural form in English. Here are a few examples:

clothes

pants

jeans

shorts

pajamas

These are often used with some sort of quantifier, or quantity word, to show how they are counted (e.g., "a pair of" pants, "two pairs of" pants, "some" pants).

How are count nouns made plural?

Count nouns are usually made plural by adding an "-s" or an "-es."

one boy, two boys

one folder, two folders

one box, two boxes

one church, two churches

If the noun ends in "-y," change the "-y" to "-ies" to make it plural.

one family, two families

one party, two parties

However, if a vowel precedes the "-y," add just an "-s" to make it plural.

one toy, two toys

one donkey, two donkeys

If the noun ends in "-o," add "-es" to make it plural.

one potato, two potatoes

one tomato, two tomatoes

If the noun ends in "-f" or "-fe," change the "-f" to a "-v" and add "-es."

one thief, two thieves

one hoof, two hooves

Some count nouns have irregular plural forms. Many of these forms come from earlier forms of English.

one foot, two feet

one person, two people

one tooth, two teeth

one criterion, two criteria

When unsure of the plural form, please consult the dictionary. An English learner’s dictionary (such as Merriam-Webster, Cambridge, Oxford, or Longman) may be the most useful.

Important: Singular count nouns must have a word in the determiner slot. This could be an article, a pronoun, or a possessive noun (i.e., "a," "an," "the," "this," or a possessive noun). Please see our page on article usage for more information.
