- Formation of plurals
|

A singular word is one that means one person or thing. A plural word is one that means more than one person or thing. In some words ending in y, the y is changed to i and es is added to form the plural. Example: penny, pennies A few words have an old form in the plural and some are the same in the plural as they are in the singular. Example: child, children; goose, geese; deer, deer |
