One group of singular nouns are those that end in -sis that are made plural by changing the ending to -ses, for example:
- hypothesis (hypotheses)
- diagnosis (diagnoses)
- basis (bases)
- crisis (crises)
- oasis (oases)
- emphasis (emphases)
Another group of singular nouns are those that end in -us that are made plural by changing the ending to -i, for example:
- alumnus (alumni)
- cactus (cacti)
- focus (foci)
- radius (radii)
- stimulus (stimuli)
- bacillus (bacilli)
It is now becoming acceptable to use the more standard plural form to add -es to nouns already ending with an -s, for example focuses or radiuses.
And a group of singular nouns that are a shortened form of 'a pair of...', for example:
- glasses (two pairs of glasses)
- scissors (two pairs of scissors)
- pants (two pairs of pants)
- binoculars (two pairs of binoculars)
- tongs (two pairs of tongs)
- shorts (two pairs of shorts)
