I can turn nouns from singular to plural when I add the suffix -s or by changing the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ and adding the suffix -es.

Show transcript
Adding -s or -es to a noun creates a plural. If the word ends in a vowel (a, e, i, u) or consonant, just add -s. If the word ends in 'y' preceded by a vowel, just add -s. If the word ends in 'y' preceded by a consonant, remove the 'y' and add -ies. How to spell the curriculum words: group, earth and yacht.
