English plurals

English plurals are grammatical numbers, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, the plural is usually formed by adding an 's' at the end of the word.

Regular English plurals

The plural morpheme in English is suffixed to the end of most nouns. Regular English plurals fall into three classes, depending upon the sound that ends the singular form.

Irregular English plurals

Irregular plurals do not add an 's' but instead change the word itself in some other way. Examples include: man - men, woman - women, tooth - teeth.

Plurals in other languages

Plurals in other languages are formed in various ways, such as through vowel changes, adding a suffix, or through a change in stress or tone.
