plural的用法讲解

English plural words are words that exist in two different forms, depending on the number of elements being referred to.

The basic rule of thumb with plural words is that they normally take an -s at the end. For example, “cat” becomes “cats” in the plural form.

However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, when a word ends in a y, it becomes “ies” in the plural form. For example, “baby” becomes “babies.”

Other exceptions include words that end in “ch”, “sh”, “s”, “x”, or “z”. For example, “church” becomes “churches” and “box” becomes “boxes.”

In addition, some words can also take a different ending altogether. For example, “mouse” becomes “mice” and “man” becomes “men.”

Finally, there are some words that are always plural and cannot be made singular. For example, “scissors” and “jeans” are both plural words.

Overall, the plural form of a word is used when we are referring to more than one element. By learning the rules of plural words, you can easily distinguish between singular and plural words in English.
