What are the rules in changing foreign word to plural nouns?
The fiestas' paths go past the statues in front of all the inglesias in all the pueblos in the area. To make a foreign noun plural, simply write the noun and follow English rules. The few exceptions are holdovers from Latin. The shortened forms alum and alums have replaced the longer endings. Fact is singular. Facts or data is plural. Foreign words are listed in dictionaries in their singular form. As a result, only by using English plural forms can you find their meaning when they are used in English. Since no one could be expected to know the plural forms of all foreign languages, no one would be expected to use foreign words using foreign plurals. In fact some foreign plurals would be so different from the base word, they would be impossible to understand. In a different context this happens in a Spanish-English Dictionary. Irregular preterits are quite different from the main verb and are not in the dictionary. Two reference sources must be searched to find their meaning.
