1. Singular and plural

In English, the most common way to express that there is more than one of something is the noun suffix -s.

Depending on the last letter of the word, the plural suffix can also be -es, -ies or -ves.

There are also words that have an irregular plural. For example, a vowel might change, the word might get the ending -en, or there might be two different plurals for different meanings. These are exceptions and must be learned by heart.

Some words are always in the singular.

Some other words are always in the plural.

Pay special attention to words that are plural in your first language but singular in English.
