Find the plural nouns 

The window in question was at the edge of the house, one of the newer additions. It gave a side view of the hall with a wide staircase leading up to the first floor. And there, sure enough, was Mary Blakiston, lying sprawled out on a rug, one arm stretched in front of her, partly concealing her head. From the very first sight, Dr Redwing was fairly sure that she was dead. Somehow, she had fallen down the stairs and broken her neck. She wasn’t moving, of course. But it was more than that. The way the body was lying was too unnatural. It had that broken-doll look that Redwing had observed in her medicine books.

The Magpie Murders, Anthony Horrowitz

Find the plurals 

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

The Rules

• Regular nouns: +s NEVER 's!!! 
• Nouns ending in  ch, sh, ss, s, x of z : add -es
• Most nouns ending in 'o': add -es, sometimes: -s
• Nouns with consonant + 'y': change to - ies 
• Nouns with vowel + y: +s
• Some nouns ending in 'f' or 'fe' changes to -ves
• Others with 'f' or 'fe': +s

The Rules

• With some nouns, the vowels change
• child - children / ox - oxen
• Some nouns do not change in their plural form
• And mind the compound nouns with -man, - woman etc. 
• MORE ON LEARNBEAT AND IN YOUR BOOK!!!

Collective nouns

like 'team, club, company, family, band, cast' etc.

- get a singular verb form when seen as a unity

- get a plural verb form when seen as a group of individuals with their own ideas and such. Can also be used to emphasise disagreement in a group.
