    1. There are several rules for forming the plural of nouns in English: adding 's', 'es', or 'ies' depending on the ending of the singular form. Some nouns have irregular plurals like 'children' or 'geese'. 2. Some nouns have the same form for both singular and plural, like 'sheep' or when referring to different types or species. 3. Nouns for items that come in pairs often already have a plural form even when used with a singular verb, like 'glasses' or 'scissors'. 4. Abstract nouns and nouns that don't represent countable items are always singular, with plural ideas expressed using phrases

    Substantivul: Pluralul in engleza

    Cum se identifica
    La forma de singular este adaugat:
    1. "s"
    : regula generala;
    2. "es" : daca singularul substantivelor au terminatia in ch, sh, s, ss, z, x;
    3. "ies" : daca singularul are terminatia y si inaintea lui e o consoana;
    4. "es" : daca singularul are terminatia o iar substantivul e intrat de mult in folosire;
    5. "ves" : majoritatea substantivelor terminate in f sau fe (exceptii: roof/ roofs dwarf/
    dwarfs);
    6. la substantivele de origine greaca, substantivele terminate in sis, la plural sis e inlocuit
    de ses.

    Exemple
    1

    inainte de "s" avem o consoana surda (p, t, k, f, th):


    se pronunta "s")

    cats, roofs, boats, books, cups

    inainte de "s" avem altceva decat in cazul anterior:


    pronunta "z")

    ideas, boys, balls, days ("-s" se

    ("-s"

    boxes, buses, dashes, prizes ("-es" se pronunta "iz")

    babies, ladies, factories, spies


    "iz")

    (from baby, lady, factory, spy) ("-ies" se pronunta

    tomatoes, potatoes, heroes, volcanoes (from tomato, potato, hero, volcano) ("-es" se
    pronunta "z")

    wives, elves, loaves, lives, thieves, knives (from wife, elf, loaf, life, thief, knife) ("ves" se pronunta "vz")

    analyses, hypotheses, bases (plural from analysis, hypothesis, basis) (la singular "-sis"
    se pronunta "sis", iar la plural "-ses" se pronunta "siz")

    Comentarii
    1. O

    serie de substantive au pluralul neregulat:


    child (copil) - children, man (barbat)-men, woman (femeie) - women,
    die (zar) - dice, foot (picior) - feet, goose (gasca) - geese,
    mouse (soarece) - mice, ox (bou)- oxen, tooth (dinte) - teeth

    2. Unele

    substantive au aceeasi forma si pentru singular si pentru plural: sheep, fish (se
    adauga forma de plural es cand este vorba de mai multe specii de peste), fruit (se
    adauga forma de plural -s cand este vorba de mai multe soiuri de
    fructe), species, deer, series.
    Ex: His favourite was a big white sheep.
    The sheep were grazing in the field.

    3. Unele

    substantive au deja forma de plural (sunt urmate de un verb la plural); denumind


    lucruri formate din doua parti: trousers, pants, shorts,
    (sun)glasses, pyjamas, slacks, scissors, tongs,compasses, scales.

    4. Unele

    substantive nu primesc niciodata forma de plural


    (money, information, news, progress, luggage, furniture, homework, advice, knowled
    ge); ideea de plural se va realiza prin folosirea sintagmelor: a piece of/ two pieces of, an
    item of, two items of (pentru substantive ce denumesc lucruri abstracte), a bit of. In acest
    caz, verbul folosit in fraza va fi totdeauna la singular.
    Ex: The money is on the table.
    I need a piece of valuable information.

    5. Unele

    substantive se termina deja in -s, dand astfel impresia de plural. La plural ele nu isi
    schimba forma: mathematics, physics, politics, billiards, darts, gymnastics, diabetes,
    measles, mumps.
    Ex: Mathematics is one of the most important sciences.
