Singular and plural nouns

Source: youtube. Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKUWxOXEdBM


Nouns are words we use to talk about people, places, and things. Nouns can be singular if we refer to only one object or plural if we refer to two or more things.

In English we form the plural by adding an "s" to the singular noun: car, cars; window, windows; door, doors, month, months.

When the noun ends in “-y” preceded by a consonant, change the -y to -i and add -es: baby, babies; lady, ladies; candy, cadies.

Add -es to nouns ending in -sh, -ch, -s, -x and –z: wish, wishes; class, classes; fox, foxes.

Los nombres son palabras que utilizamos para hablar a cerca de personas, lugares y cosas. Los nombres pueden singular si nos referimos a un solo objeto o plural si nos referimos a dos o más objetos.

En inglés formamos el plural añadiendo una “s” al nombre en singular: carro, carros; ventana, ventanas; puerta, puertas; mes meses.

Cuando el nombre termina en “y” precedido por una consonante, cambie la “y” por “i” y añada “es”: bebé, bebés; señorita, señoritas; caramelo, caramelos.

Añadir “es” a los nombres que terminan en “sh, ch, s, x, z”: deseo, deseos; clse, clases; zorro, zorros.
