When spelling plurals if the word ends with a y change the y to an you and add es is this true?

Answer 1

Yes, to make the word plural, you take out the y and you add ies to the end of the word. Some examples are:

• one baby, two babies
• one hobby, two hobbies
• one story, a book of short stories
• one lady, many ladies
• one spy, two spies

Note that for words ending in y preceeded by a vowel, an s is simply added, as a regular plural. For example:

• one day, two days
• one toy, a box of toys
• one play, two plays
• one joy, many joys

Answer 2

Yes, when spelling plurals of words that end in y, you typically change the y to i and add es. For example, "party" becomes "parties" and "city" becomes "cities".
