Noun ending Forming the plural Example
Noun ending Forming the plural Example irregular plurals are to practice speaking the English language, to read a great deal, to pay attention to words and phrases that you see and hear, and to assemble a list of words with irregular plurals so you can begin to understand how to make each noun plural correctly. D- Irregular Plurals: Certain words do not follow the rules for regular plurals. There are some common types of irregular plural nouns that occur, and some words simply have no plural form at all. While it is useful to memorize the common irregular plurals, for many words you simply have to know and understand that it's an irregular plural as a result of speaking and hearing English. E- Non-count Nouns: They are also called COLLECTIVE NOUNS, have no plural form because they are assumed to be plural. Most ABSTRACT NOUNS are non-count nouns. Some examples are: Hair Grass Mud Dress (when referring to a style of dress, not when referring to a clothing item that hangs in your closet) If you are talking about multiple varieties or types of these irregular plurals, you cannot make them plural by adding an "s" or "es" to the end. Instead, you need to make them plural by adding a descriptive phrase. Example: There are many different styles of hair. *There are several varieties of grass. There are three different kinds of mud. * The ancient people had a few types of styles of dress. F- Unchanging Nouns Certain other nouns have the same singular and plural form. A large number of animals happen to follow this rule. These examples will be spelled the same. Deer Fish Bison Moose Elk Swine Shrimp Bass Trout Aircraft Spacecraft G- Other Irregular Plurals In addition to non-count nouns and unchanging nouns, there are several different types of irregular plurals that follow a pattern in the English language. Explore examples of different endings and how they change, along with irregular plural nouns that change completely. H- Nouns With "F" or "Fe" Endings –When nouns end in "f" or "fe, " you drop "f" or "fe" and add "ves." Knife = knives *Wife = wives *Half = halves Loaf = loaves *Calf = calves *Life = lives Exceptions to this rule include roof and proof, among others. These will get an "s" to the end, as in roofs and proofs. I- "Us" Endings in Nouns For many words that end in "us," change the "us" to an "i" (especially if it comes from a Latin word). There are exceptions to this rule, and it's becoming more acceptable to add "es" instead of changing to " I " in some cases. Cactus = cacti *Fungus = fungi *Syllabus = syllabi CORPORACIÓN UNIVERSITARIA MINUTO DE DIOS 1010 Versión: 1
