A plural is a words that expresses more than one, or, in other words, two or more. I will show two examples as followed:
1. cat cats
So that's one cat, then more than one cat, cats. It could mean two cats, three cats, or one hundred cats.
2. elephants elephants
So that's one elephant, then more than one elephant, elephants. It could mean two elephants, three, or even a hundred.
Now, here's a problem. What's the plural of goose? Not gooses. That sounds wrong. Here let me show you. The plural is geese. Some words just don't follow the American rule.
1. goose geese
Sorry! I can't think of any more that don't follow the pattern. Anyway, the regular pattern.
The words can end in s, es, or ies. For example as followed:
1. bats (it is a plural and it ends in s)
2. apples (its is plural and it ends es [don't drop the e])
3. flies (the original word is fly, drop y, make it a i, and add es)
One last rule that came to me is, um let me think, take the word cheese for example.
The plural of cheese is cheese. You don't say cheeses or have a totally different word .
This is all I can teach you about plurals. There so much more out there in the world. Hopefully I have taught you something today! Thanks for giving your time in reading this!
