Pluralbildung bei Nomen

Die meisten Nomen bilden den Plural mit -s: book → books, friend → friends, key → keys.

  • Nach -s, -sh, -ch, -x wird -es angehängt: bus → buses, dish → dishes, watch → watches, box → boxes.
  • Manche Nomen auf -o hängen -es an: tomato → tomatoes, potato → potatoes, aber photo → photos.
  • Konsonant + y wird zu -ies: city → cities, baby → babies. Nach einem Vokal wird einfach -s angehängt: day → days.
  • Viele Nomen auf -f/-fe ändern sich zu -ves: knife → knives, leaf → leaves, half → halves.
  • Unregelmäßige Pluralformen muss man auswendig lernen: child → children, man → men, woman → women, person → people, foot → feet, tooth → teeth, mouse → mice.
  • Manche Nomen bleiben unverändert: sheep → sheep, fish → fish.

  • The children are playing in the garden.
  • Our city has three big libraries.
