Plurals

Today's goals

After today's lesson:

you know how to form the plural form (=meervoudsvorm) in English

Let's get started with the plurals!

How do you make a plural in English?

Standaardregel

De meeste meervouden in het Engels eindigen op een -s:

week - weeks

star - stars

cat - cats

Let op

In het Engels krijgen meervouden nooit een 's (apostrophe -s).

Ex: Photo - photos 

In England

they say that every time you use an apostrophe to make a word plural, a puppy dies.....
