Let's solve this step-by-step. The task is to write the
plural form of each noun listed, using standard English pluralization rules.
🌟 Key Rules for Plural Nouns:
1.
Most nouns: Add
-s
Example: *cat → cats*
2.
Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z: Add
-es
Example: *box → boxes*, *brush → brushes*
3.
Nouns ending in -f or -fe: Often change to
-ves
Example: *knife → knives*, *life → lives*
(But some just add -s: *roof → roofs*)
4.
Nouns ending in -y:
- If preceded by a
consonant, change
-y → -ies
Example: *baby → babies*
- If preceded by a
vowel, just add
-s
Example: *day → days*
5.
Irregular plurals: Some words have unique forms
Example: *child → children*, *man → men*
Now, let’s go through each word:
