Unit 46: PLURALS OF UNIT NOUNS Most unit nouns add s to make the plural, but some are irregular. 1 Regular girl girls face faces but if the word ends with ch / sh / s / x / y / z / fe, the spelling is a little different. Look at Appendix 5. 2 Irregular Here are some useful examples: SINGULAR PLURAL SINGULAR PLURAL person people man men woman women fish fish child children appendix appendices foot feet tooth teeth sheep sheep nucleus nuclei 3 Always plural a Things with two halves: b Some other words. For example: c Some words do not look plural, but they usually take plural grammar. For example: The family are all out at the moment. NOT is The majority think he is right. NOT thinks The police are questioning him now. NOT is Those scissors are very sharp. The pants are too long for me. I can’t see with these glasses. If we want to count with these words, we use pair: a pair of scissors ( = 1 ), four pairs of pants clothes, customs (at airports), premises, thanks, wages NOTICE: News is not a plural. It is a mass noun. Mass nouns do not have a plural form (Unit 47).
