| Between | In the middle of two things | “The library is between the school and the park.” |
2. Plural Nouns: Basic Rules
Nouns come in two forms: singular and plural. Let’s explore some rules for forming plural nouns:
- -s and -es Suffixes:
- For most nouns, simply add -s to the singular form.
- Example: orange → oranges, pen → pens.
- If the word ends with -ss, -x, -ch, or -sh, add -es.
- Example: dress → dresses, fox → foxes.
- For most nouns, simply add -s to the singular form.
- -y and -ie Suffixes:
- If the noun ends with -y preceded by a consonant, change -y to -i and add -es.
- Example: cherry → cherries, puppy → puppies.
- If there’s a vowel before the -y, simply add -s.
- Example: monkey → monkeys, toy → toys.
- If the noun ends with -y preceded by a consonant, change -y to -i and add -es.
- -o Endings:
- If the noun ends with a vowel followed by -o, add -s.
- Example: pistachio → pistachios, stereo → stereos.
- If there’s a consonant before the -o, add -es.
- Example: hero → heroes, veto → vetoes.
- If the noun ends with a vowel followed by -o, add -s.
