1. Study theory block

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

cat – cats

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

truss – trusses

In some cases, singular nouns ending in -s or -z, require that you double the -s or -z prior to adding the -es for pluralization.

fez – fezzes

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

 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

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

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

potato – potatoes

If the singular noun ends in ‑us, the plural ending is frequently ‑i.

cactus – cacti

focus – foci

If the singular noun ends in ‑is, the plural ending is ‑es.

analysis – analyses

ellipsis – ellipses

If the singular noun ends in ‑on, the plural ending is ‑a.

phenomenon – phenomena

criterion – criteria

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