00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:10,939
Singular and plural nouns. We are going to look at the rules to make the singular and plural nouns.

2
00:00:15,179 --> 00:00:19,839
The main rule is to add an S at the end of the noun.

3
00:00:20,859 --> 00:00:27,820
Example, arm, arms. Most nouns add S to form the plural.

4
00:00:27,820 --> 00:00:43,600
Second rule. Nouns that end with SH, CH, X or S form the plural by adding ES.

5
00:00:44,619 --> 00:00:47,659
Example. Box, boxes.

6
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:58,479
Nouns ending with a vowel plus Y add S to form the plural.

7
00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:02,979
Example, boy, boys.

8
00:01:03,659 --> 00:01:10,319
Here comes the difference because nouns ending with a consonant plus Y

9
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:17,159
change the Y for an I and add ES.

10
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,780
Example, baby, babies.

11
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,659
The Y changes into an I and then we add ES.

12
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,239
okay so when you have consonant

13
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:36,980
B for example plus Y

14
00:01:36,980 --> 00:01:40,599
here you are consonant plus Y

15
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:43,719
you have to change the Y into an I

16
00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:48,400
and then we add ES whereas if you have

17
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:54,680
vowel plus Y you don't need to do anything except add an S

18
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,400
vowel Y we only add

19
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:15,400
5. Nouns which end in F or FE. In this case we change the F or FE to VES.

20
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:28,710
Leave, leaves. So the F is taken away, we change it into a V and we add ES.

21
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:41,620
Nouns ending in vowel plus O. We only add S. Example, radio, radios.

22
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:53,599
But when we have a noun ending in a consonant plus O, we add ES. Example, potato, potatoes.

23
00:02:53,599 --> 00:03:05,060
You see? Consonant, O. So we add ES. Vowel, O. We only add S.

24
00:03:06,659 --> 00:03:15,900
Then we have nouns that have no change. Example, ship, ship. Irregular pronouns, plural nouns.

25
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:18,560
Example, child, children.

26
00:03:19,939 --> 00:03:22,819
Here you have more examples of this one.

27
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:23,520
Okay?

28
00:03:23,979 --> 00:03:25,620
Okay, nouns that have no chains.

29
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:26,719
Series, series.

30
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,039
Species, species.

31
00:03:29,259 --> 00:03:31,060
Irregular plural nouns.

32
00:03:31,259 --> 00:03:32,560
Person, people.

33
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:34,419
Mouse, mice.

34
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,060
Tooth, teeth.

35
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,819
Foot, feet.

36
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:39,520
Child, children.

37
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:57,289
And here we have two cases of some of them which you can have the singular fish and the plural can be fish or fishes or shrimp that you can have it also the plural shrimp or shrimps.

38
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:08,219
And that is all. So thank you very much for paying attention. And bye bye.
