What the Teacher Needs to Know about More Plurals (Description – 179, Word Lists – p. 278) Many of the Latin-based words form plurals in ways other than the traditional addition of s or es. Examples are crisis/crises, bacterium/bacteria, persona/personae, and radius/radii. Many of these words also have another acceptable plural form that involves simply adding s or es. Scientific terminology is often involved in words that form plurals in these ways. When students are working at the derivational constancy stage, they are ready to learn about these plural forms.
