Irony
Most nouns ending in -y like "company" are made plural by replacing the -y with -ies, thus "companies".
You have to change the y to an I and add the es
Most nouns ending in -y preceded by a vowel are made plural by just adding an -s to the end of the word, for example: day to days; alley to alleys; boy to boys; guy to guys; etc. Nouns ending in -y preceded by a consonant, take out the -y and add -ies for example: candy to candies; duty to duties; baby to babies; etc.
Examples of nouns ending in -y that is preceded by a vowel:alleyboycaychimneydaydonkeyessayjoykeymonkeyplaytoyturkeyvalleyway
Yes, nouns ending in y preceded by a vowel form their plurals by adding s. For example, "essay" becomes "essays" and "donkey" becomes "donkeys."

Yes, that is correct. The general rule is that nouns ending in a vowel followed by "y" form their plurals by simply adding an "s" to the singular form. For example, "valley" becomes "valleys" in the plural form.
yes, such as: way-->ways valley-->valleys decoy-->decoys guy-->guys
Add an 's' to form the plural of proper nouns ending in 'y'. For example:Kennedy > the KennedysMary > two MarysHarry > two HarrysJelly Belly > a handful of Jelly Bellys
The basic rule is for nouns ending in 'y' preceded by a consonant, the plural is formed by dripping the 'y' and 'ies'. For nouns ending in 'y' preceded by a vowel, the plural is formed by adding 's' only. Why this came about, I do not know. Perhaps a question for the category 'word origins'.Some examples for nouns that drop the Y and add IES for plurals are:babiesdaisiesladiesstoriesdairiesfairiespartiescountriesSome examples for nouns that do not drop the Y for plurals:alleysboyschimneysdaysessaysjoyskeysmonkeys

The plural form of "sky" is "skies." This is formed by changing the "y" to "ies," following the rule for nouns ending in a consonant plus "y." For example, one sky becomes two skies.
