Some rules for forming plural nouns1.

Generally we add -s after the noun to make plural.

Nouns with 'hissing' sounds (-sh, -ch,-x,-s) at the end, the plural is formed by adding –es.

For example: Bush-Bushes, Class-Classes, Fox-foxes, Branch-Branches.

3.

Nouns ending with a consonant + y, the plural is formed by changing y into ies.

For example: Baby-Babies, City-Cities.

4.

Nouns ending with a vowel + y, the plural is formed by adding-s.

For example: Boy-Boys, Key-Keys.

5.

Nouns ending with -f, -fe, the plural is formed by changing -f, -fe into -ves.

Raju is a tailor in the big city. Sometimes he works for days to stitch smart hats for ladies and caps for armies. One summer afternoon, Raju thought he would sit in his garden and stitch hats there.

Soon the heat made him tired and he fell asleep. Chatter....chatter.... Raju got up with a sudden start. 'Where are the hats and caps?' Raju looked around and thought.

Paragraph My Pet Animal My pet animal is cat. I call it Mini. It is white in colour and beautiful to look at. Its whole body is covered with soft fur. It has a long tail and round head. Its eyes and ears are very sharp. Its four legs have claws by which it can easily kill the rats. I like Mini very much for its good nature. When I call it Mini she comes to me mewing. I sleep with her. I also play with her. I give her fish, meat, milk and rice to eat. She is fond of milk but she does not steal it. So, every member of our house loves Mini dearly.

My Hobby My favourite hobby is collecting stamps. I have a lovely album in which I fix the stamps. I have separate pages for each country in my stamp album. I also have separate pages for stamps on birds, animals, great leaders, historical movements, etc. I have about 4000 stamps in all. My friends and relatives help me to collect stamps from all over the world. I have managed to collect some very rare and old stamps. My hobby fills my free hours with interest and keeps my mind well. I hope someday I will have a rare stamp collection.
