Into the city

Repetition of yesterday's lesson

1. Never use 's when forming a plural, this makes it possessive.

2. For most plurals you can just add +s!

3. Use much when you cannot count the noun, use many if you can count the noun.

4. Some words completely change when you make them plural.

Writing & grammar

More plural forms!

-y > -ies

-f or -fe > -ves

Words that end in -y

In English, when a word ends in -y we make it plural by changing -y to -ies.

A common mistake students make is using the Dutch spelling in English. In Dutch we write baby's, whereas the English write babies

City > cities

Sky > skies

Study > studies

Story > stories

Plural form of spy

1. spys
2. spies

Plural form of memory

1. Memories
2. Memorys

Plural form of highway

1. Highwaies
2. Highways

Exceptions of the -ies rule

If the letter preceding the -y is a vowel (medeklinker), so a, e, i, u & o you add the letter -s after the -y.

Examples:

Key > keys

Delay > Delays

Holiday > holidays

All these words have a vowel before the -y!
