What are Plurals? (Explained for Year 4)

Plurals are words that indicate there is more than one of something. For Year 4 students, it’s important to understand the basic rules for forming plurals, as well as some common exceptions.

Here are the main points for Year 4:

• Regular Plurals:** Most nouns add “s” to become plural (e.g., cat – cats, book – books).
• Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z:** Add “es” (e.g., bus – buses, dish – dishes, box – boxes).
• Nouns ending in -y (with a consonant before the y):** Change the “y” to “i” and add “es” (e.g., city – cities, story – stories).
• Irregular Plurals:** Some nouns have special plural forms (e.g., man – men, child – children, mouse – mice).
