Plurals
1To make regular nouns plural, add ‑s to the end.

• cat – cats
• house – houses

2If the singular noun ends in ‑s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add ‑es to the end to make it plural.

• truss – trusses
• bus – buses
• marsh – marshes
• lunch – lunches
• tax – taxes
• blitz – blitzes

3 If the noun ends with ‑f or ‑fe, the f is often changed to ‑ve before adding the -s to form the plural version.

• wife – wives
• wolf – wolves

Exceptions:

• roof – roofs
• belief – beliefs
• chef – chefs
• chief – chiefs

4 If a singular noun ends in ‑y and the letter before the -y is a consonant, change the ending to ‑ies to make the noun plural.

• city – cities
• puppy – puppies

5 If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply add an -s to make it plural.

• ray – rays
• boy – boys

6If the singular noun ends in ‑o, add ‑es to make it plural.

• potato – potatoes
• tomato – tomatoes

Exceptions:

• photo – photos
• piano – pianos
• halo – halos

7Some nouns don’t change at all when they’re pluralized.

• sheep – sheep
• series – series
• species – species
• deer –deer

You need to see these nouns in context to identify them as singular or plural. Consider the following sentence:

Mark caught one fish, but I caught three fish.

Plural Noun Rules for Irregular Nouns
Irregular nouns follow no specific rules, so it’s best to memorize these or look up the proper pluralization in the dictionary.

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

A demonstrative pronoun represents a thing or things:

• near in distance or time (this, these)
• far in distance or time (that, those)

	near •	far ⇒
singular 📗	this	that
plural 📗📗📗	these	those

Extra explanation.

Es importante comenzar señalando que los pronombres pueden estar en singular o plural y que pueden hacer referencia a la distancia.

this(este/a/o)

that(ese/a/o, aquél, aquello/a)

these(estos/as)

those(esos/as, aquellos/as)

Ejemplos:

Singular and here (singular y aquí):

I like this car.(Me gusta este coche.)

Singular and there (singular y allí):

I like that car.(Me gusta ese coche.)

Plural and here (plural y aquí):

I like these cars.(Me gustan estos coches.)

Plural and there (plural y allí):

I like those cars.(Me gustan aquellos coches.)

Los pronombres demostrativos pueden ir acompañados de un nombre como vemos en los ejemplos anteriores, o pueden ir solos como en los siguientes ejemplos:

This is a good book.(Éste es un buen libro.)

What is that?(¿Qué es eso?) 📖Choose the correct answer Q1 of 8 ____ is my car here.   This   That   These   Those  Q2 of 8 ____ are my children over there in the park.   This   That   These   Those  Q3 of 8 ____ is my car over there.   This   That   These   Those  Q4 of 8 ____ are my children here.   This   That   These   Those  Q5 of 8 ____ bike over there is mine.   This   That   These   Those  Q6 of 8 Do you know ____ boys over there?   this   that   these   those  Q7 of 8 Can I use ____ pencil here?   this   that   these   those  Q8 of 8 I love ____ biscuits here.   this   that   these   those

Ok people, that's all for today!

Have a great weekend!
