Introduction
Good day, my learned students. 
You are making beautiful strides and I’m so proud of you ALL. 
Great going.!
Today in the Language Corner we will be digging a little deeper into plural nouns. Remembering that, plural nouns refer to names that indicate more than one. Wherein, one cow is in the singular form; two cows indicate the plural. We also explored how most singular nouns form their plurals by adding‘s’, this includes nouns ending with y preceded by a vowel. Nouns with endings such as ch, sh, s, ss, x, and o in some cases, add ‘es’ to create the plurals. Don’t forget to always spend some time revising. Consequently, for today’s class we will be probing the nouns that form their plural with the ‘ies’ and ‘ves’ endings.

The following are your tasks for today’s lesson:
1. Learn the rules for plural nouns ending with ‘ies’ and ‘ves’.

In brief retrospect:
- Previously
- Nouns are simply names.
- Plural nouns refer to more than one while singular means one.
- Most regular nouns form their plural by adding‘s’ or ‘es’.
- There are, however, exceptions to the above rules.
- Today
- Forming the plurals for some singular nouns ending with ‘y’:
Change the y to ‘i’ then add ‘es’: ‘ies’
For most nouns that end in a consonant + y add es after changing y to i.
Examples:
baby – babies
century – centuries
cherry – cherries
