9. One and More Than One




          When a naming word is used for one, it is singular                               . When a naming

          word is used for more than one, it is plural                        . Therefore, if we want to

          make a word plural            , then we have to add s/es                to it.


          Now look at the following examples :






          1.  a dog                               dog + s = dogs






          2.  a book                              book + s = books





          3.  a mango                             mango + es = mangoes






                                                                         y
                                                             y
          When a naming word ends with  , then   is replaced by   and we have
                                                                                                 i
                     es
          to add  to the word to make itplural                       .

          Now look at the following examples :






          1.  a fairy                             fairies





          2.  a lady                              ladies


                                                                                                              Grammar-1
