Several situations of English plus pluralsThere were several situations in which English terms became plurals:
1. ** General situation **: Add-s to singular terms, such as map-maps, bird-birds, etc. For s, read "z" after a voiced or voiced syllable,"s" after an unvoiced syllable,"ts" together with "t" after "t", and "dz" together with "d" after "d".
2. ** Noun ending with s, x, sh, ch **: Add-es to singular terms, such as box-boxes, bus-buses, peach-peaches, dish-dishes, etc.
3. ** Noun ending with a syllable + y **: Remove the y and add-ies to singular terms, such as factory-factories, story-stories, family-families.
4. ** Noun that ends with a syllable + y **: Directly add-s to singular terms, such as boy-boys, toy-toys.
5. ** Noun ending with f or fe **: Remove f or fe and add-ves to singular terms, such as leaf-leaves, life-lives, knife-knives.
6. ** Noun ending with o **:
- The singular of a living thing was changed to the plurals and added-es, such as potato-potatoes, tomato-tomatoes, hero-heroes, etc.
- Singular things that are inanimate are changed to the plurals and added with-s, such as photo-photos, piano-ianpos, zoo-zoos, etc.
7. ** Irregular Change **:
- There were child-children, foot-feet, tooth-teeth, mouse-mice, man-men, woman-women, and so on. A compound word formed with man and woman also has the plurals-men and-women (such as Englishman-Englishmen), but German is not a compound word, and the plurals are Germans.
- Singular and plurals with the same form, such as deer, sheep, fish, Chinese, Japanese (except for RMB, jiao, and extra, USD, pound, and French all have plurals).
- A collective term that appears in the singular but is actually in the plurals, such as people, police, cattle, etc.(It itself is a plurals. It cannot be said to be a people, a police, or a cattle, but it can be said to be a person, a policeman, or a head of cattle. The English, the British, the French, the Chinese, the Japanese, etc. are used in the plurals when expressing the general name of the people.)
- Noun that ended with s and was still singular, such as mathematics, politics, physics, etc., were uncountable and singular;news, news, were uncountable;the United States, the United Nations, should be regarded as singular; book titles, play titles, newspapers, magazines, etc., should also be regarded as singular.
- There are also some terms whose plurals can sometimes express special meanings, such as goods, waters, fishes, or things made up of two parts, such as glasses, trousers, and clothes. To express a specific number, you need to use the words pair and suit, such as a pair of glasses and two pairs of trousers.
"Choose" was equally exciting. Everyone was welcome to read it!
