Hey, guys. Today we will also start learning English grammar.
Our first topic: Singular and plural nouns.
- A noun is a person, an animal, a place or a thing: a dog, a town, a phone, a melon, an orange, an egg, a beach, etc.
- In writing, names of people, places, days, months, etc. begin with a capital letter: Monday, Mr John, Boston, June.
Example: Last summer I visited London.
- Most nouns can be singular (one) or plural (more than one):
a pizza - two pizzas; an apple - five apples; an egg - some eggs; a melon - three melons.
- For the plural form of most nouns, add -s:
bottle - bottles; pen - pens; window - windows; coin - coins.
- For nouns that end in s, ss, ch, and x sounds (and potato, tomato) add-es:
box - boxes; moss - mosses; bus - buses; potato - potatoes.
- For nouns ending in f or fe, change а to v and add -es:
wolf - wolves; wife - wives; leaf - leaves; life - lives.
- For nouns that end in consonant (b, c, d, etc) + y (ay, ey, oy), change y to i and add -es (and -s):
day - days; baby - babies; toy - toys; family - families.
- The plural form of a few nouns is different. We call these irregular nouns:
man -men; woman - women; fish - fish; tooth - teeth; foot - feet;
deer - deer; child - children; mouse - mice.
It's all a rule. Thank you for your attention. Until new publications.
