The plural of a word what is that?

The plural means meervoud.

Give the plural of this word 

=

 geef het meervoud van dit woord.

For a lot of words, the rule is very simple:

you add an S behind the word to make it plural.

snake - snakes

apple - apples

etc.

Plurals ending in an S
(clocks, teapots, plants)

Sadly, this rule doesn't count for all words.

Word ending in -y

city - cities 

candy - candies

lady - ladies

the -y changes to - ies

Woorden eindigend op alleen een o

Potato - potatoes

hero - heroes

domino - dominoes

behind the - o, -es is added.

The "o" rule also has a lot of exceptions (uitzonderingen)

piano - Pianos

photo - photos

solo-solos

words ending in -f

knife - knives

leaf - leaves

wolf - wolves

the -f changes into -ves

Woorden die eindigen op een slisklank

(s, sh, ch, x)

bus - buses

dish - dishes

branch - branches

box - boxes

Als je achter deze woorden een s plakt, hoor je het verschil niet. daarom zetten we in plaats van - s, -es.

Some words... stay the same

one fish - five fish

one series - five series 

one deer - five deer
