способом образования множественного
числа имён существительных является
прибавление окончания -s
или -es
к форме существительного в единственном
числе.

-s	-es
a bag – bags a cat – cats a rose – roses	a glass – glasses a fox – foxes a watch – watches a bush – bushes

Имена
существительные, оканчивающиеся на -y
с предшествующей согласной, образуют
множественное число путём прибавления
окончания -es,
причём —у
меняется на -i.
Например: a
dictionary
–
dictionaries.
baby
– babies,
fly
–
flies.
Но:
a
boy –
boys, a day –
days
(перед
—у
стоит
гласная).

Некоторые
имена
существительные,
оканчивающиеся
на
-f,
-fe,
образуют
множественное
число
путём
изменения
-f
на
—v
и
прибавлением
окончания
-es:
half –
halves, life –
lives,
thief –
thieves,
knife
–
knives,
self
–
selves,
wolf –
wolves,
leaf –
leaves, shelf
–
shelves,
wife – wives.

Но:
roof
–
roofs, safe –
safes,
chief –
chiefs, handkerchief –
handkerchiefs

Надо
помнить о том,
что если существительное заканчивается
на: —o,
—ch,
—sh,
—ss
или
—x,
множественное
число образуется путем добавления
окончания —es.
Например:
tomato
(помидор) –
tomatoes,
church
(церковь) –
churches,
bush
(куст) –
bushes,
kiss
(поцелуй) –
kisses,
box
(коробка)
– boxes.
Обратите внимание на то, что, если слово
иностранного происхождения оканчивается
на —o,
мы добавляем «s»,
например:
kilo
(килограмм) –
kilos,
photo (фотография) –
photos,
piano (рояль) –
pianos,
soprano (сопрано) –
sopranos.

Также следует
запомнить ряд существительных, у которых
множественное число образуется за счет
изменения гласной (а в некоторых случаях,
за счет добавления окончания —
en / — ren).
Например:

foot
–
feet,
tooth
–
teeth,
man
–
–men,

woman –
women,
mouse
–
mice,
goose
–
geese,
child
–
children,
ox
–
oxen.

Следует
запомнить, что существительные deer
(олень),
sheep
(овца),
swine
имеют
одинаковую форму, как для единственного,
так и для множественного числа:
a
sheep
–
sheep,
a
deer
–
deer,
a
swine
–
swine.

У
существительных, заимствованных из
латинского и греческого, сохраняются
соответствующие формы множественного
числа:

рhenomenon
–
phenomena datum –
data

crisis
–
crises
basis –
bases

stimulus
–
stimuli
formula –
formulae

index
–

antenna –
antennae

Сложные имена
существительные образуют множественное
число следующим образом:

а) –s
добавляется к основному слову

editors-in-chief

brothers-in-law

lookers—on

b)
форма множественного числа определяется
конечным элементом

lady-birds

hotel-keepers

housewives

postmen

c)
если существительное начинается с
man/woman,
оба элемента принимают форму множественного
числа

men—servants

women—doctors

d)
при отсутствии существительного в
составе комплекса –s
добавляется к последнему элементу

forget-me-nots

merry-go-rounds

Сложные имена

число следующим образом:

a
