Plural Nouns: Rules and Examples

Most singular nouns are made plural by simply putting an -s at the end. There are many different rules regarding pluralization depending on what letter a noun ends in. Irregular nouns do not follow plural noun rules, so they must be memorized or looked up in the dictionary.

Plural Noun Rules

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-) 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.

  • fez – fezzes
  • gas –gasses

4-) If the noun ends with ‑f or ‑fe, the f is often changed to ‑ve before adding the -s to form the plural version.

  • wife – wives
  • wolf – wolves

☞Exceptions:

  • roof – roofs
  • belief – beliefs
  • chef – chefs
  • chief – chiefs

5-) 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

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.

  • ray – rays
  • boy – boys

7-) If the singular noun ends in ‑o, add ‑es to make it plural.

  • 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

8-) If the singular noun ends in ‑us, the plural ending is frequently ‑i.

  • cactus – cacti
  • focus – foci

9-) If the singular noun ends in ‑is, the plural ending is ‑es.

  • analysis – analyses
  • ellipsis – ellipses

10-) If the singular noun ends in ‑on, the plural ending is ‑a.

  • phenomenon – phenomena
  • criterion – criteria

11-) Some nouns don’t change at all when they’re pluralized.

  • sheep – sheep
  • series – series
  • species – species
  • deer –deer

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 fishʜ.

Plural Noun Rules for Irregular Nouns

follow no specific rules, so it’s best to memorize these or look up the proper pluralization in the dictionary.

  • child – children
  • goose – geese
  • man – men
  • woman – women
  • tooth – teeth
  • foot – feet
  • mouse – mice
  • person – people
