THE FLIES THE LITTLE FOXE

Remember:

Most nouns make their plural by adding s to the singular (birdt sisters, song frogg shadows). This incf udes nouns ending with a vowel + y (days). Nouns ending with a consonant + y make their

plural with ies (fly - flies.l. Nouns ending with x, s, ch or sh make their plura

with

es (foxes,).

Some nouns have irregular plurals (man - men).
