3.-Plural nouns

2 rabbits (plural)

How do we make ‘rabbit’ plural?

We add ‘S’ to make it plural.

3.a. Look at the following animals, can you make them plural?

It is not always so easy. There are exceptions! Here is one you have to learn ?

In the majority of cases, when the noun ends in ‘y’, for example ‘puppy’, you remove the ‘y’ and add ‘ies’. However, there are a few exceptions e.g. Monkey – monkeys &
donkey - donkeys

(La mayoría de las veces, cuando el nombre acaba en ‘y’, por ejemplo ‘puppy’, tienes que eliminar la ‘y’ y añadir ‘ies’ para formar el plural. Sin embargo, hay un par de excepciones, ej. Monkey – monkeys o donkey- donkeys.)
