The imperative

And welcome to this English course on nouns.

To-infinitive

In today's video, we're going to talk about singular and plural nouns.

When you speak English, it is very important to know the difference between a singular

So I will explain to you the different rules.

Ok guys, the first you need to know, is that a singular noun means one.

Now don't forget, 'team' is a collective noun.

It's a group of people, but still, it is a singular noun.

Now, if we talk about plural nouns, it means more than one.

So for example, two, three, four, or many.

If we take our words again, 'a cat' becomes 'cats'.

As you can see,  'lady' is consonant + 'y'.

Now when you have consonant + 'y', in an English word, the plural will be 'ies'.

But when you have vowel + 'y' like 'monkey', it just becomes 'monkeys'.

'piano' 'pianos' Again, two different rules.

And with most words ending in 'o', so consonant + 'o', you will add 'es'.

You just need to know the words that only end with an 's'.

Ok, let's move on to some pronunciation now.

So, when it comes to pronunciation, we have three different sounds.

So let's review some words together and be really careful, what sound do you hear?

'pianos' Let's move on to other rules now.

Ok guys, let's now talk about nouns that end in 's', 'sh', 'x', 'ch',

Now to make the plural form of these nouns, you will add 'es'.

Moving on to nouns that end in 'f' or 'fe'.

Then we have 'leaf' that becomes 'leaves'.

Well, ya, sometimes in English, a word ending in 'f' becomes a word ending in 'ves'
