What to Focus On

  • Singular = one (e.g., cat, book)
  • Plural = more than one (e.g., cats, books)
  • Only countable nouns have plural forms
  • Add -s to most nouns
  • Add -es to nouns ending in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x
  • Add -es to most nouns ending in -o
  • Some nouns have the same singular and plural form: deer, sheep, fish, ox → oxen, child → children
  • Words like scissors, trousers, spectacles are always plural and take plural verbs
  • Cattle and people look singular but take plural verbs

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All nouns that end in -s are plural.

All plural nouns are formed by adding -s or -es.

Words like 'scissors' and 'trousers' are singular because they refer to one item.

Memory Tips

Singular vs Plural Nouns

Add -s to most nouns
