About this word list ▲
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.
