Singular nouns that end in –y , following a consonant, are changed to – ies in the plural. For example, lady, ladies: flurry, flurries; and candy, candies. For those ending in – y, preeceded a vowel, – s is added, as in alley, alleys; and day, days. Some nouns that end in – o have – s added: silos and pianos. Others,for no special reason, have – es added; tomatoes and heroes. Several even have optional forms, such as zeroes or zeros and ghettoes or ghettos. English pronouns also have plurals, but the relationship is not so consistent as in nouns. We can be called the plural of i, and they, the plural of he, she, and it. These is the plural of this, and those the plural of that. English verbs reflect number by agreeing with the subject.

a).For example, the verb play occurs with a plural subject in the sentence the boys play baseball everyday. The verb – appears with a singular subject in the boy plays baseball everyday.

 The plurals of english nouns are formed in regular and irregular ways. Regular plurals are formed by adding –s or – es to the singular forms of the noun, as in cap, caps, and church, churches. Compound nouns form plurals with the addition of –s or –es , but the placement varies. 

a).For example, the plural of brother – in – law is brothers – in – law. But the plural of grown up is grown ups. And in manservant, both parts take the plural form menservants.
