Understanding how nouns change when moving from singular to plural form is a fundamental aspect of English grammar. Plurals indicate that there is more than one of a noun.
When a word ends in ch, s, sh, x, or z, you can turn it into a plural by adding the letters -es.
For example:
arch becomes two arches
one dress becomes two dresses
one brush becomes two brushes
one box becomes two boxes
one waltz becomes two waltzes
While this rule may seem confusing at first, our spelling activities will have you confidently forming plurals in no time. Saying each word aloud will help you embed its spelling into your memory.

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
