Forwards ending in y, with II vowel before the y, just add s; e.g. boy-boys.

Forwards ending in y. with II consonant before the y, change the y to i and add as; e.g. lady-ladies. Nole: Proper nouns do not change; add an s only: e.g. Mr and Mrs Henry-The Henrys.

Forwards ending in sh, eh, s or x, add es; e,g. dish-dishes, churchchurches, box-boxes, dress-dresses.

Forwards ending in f orie, change the f or le to II and add as; e.g. faalleaves. Nole: There are exceptions such as chief, belief. chef and cafe. (These words would sound strange with II II sound.)

For others, add es; e.g. hero-heroes, tomato-tomatoes, potato-potatoes, cargo-&argoes. Note: Some words ending in 0 now have two acceptable plural forms; e.g. mosquitoes/mosquitos, buffaloes/buffalos.

For words that are hyphenated, add s to the main noun; e.g. sister-in-Iawsisters-in-law.

Some words retain the same form; e.g. sheep, aircraft. fish, deer.

Some words change conpletely; e.g. tooth-teeth, mouse-mice, childchildren, foot-feet.
