Asa cum stiti, pluralul substantivelor se obtine prin adaugarea terminatiei -s. E.g.

: dog-dogs Pentru substantivele care se termina in -o exista doua terminatii, -es si -s: -es e.g.: hero-heroes (erou) potato-potatoes tomato-tomatoes -s e.g.: kilo-kilos photo-photos piano-pianos

Substantivele care se termina in -f/-fe se transforma in pluralul -ves: e.g.: leaf-leaves wife-wives Unele substantive cu terminatia in -f accepta -s la plural e.g.: roof-roofs belief-beliefs proof-proofs (dovada) chief-chiefs Substantivele care se termina in s, -ss, -ch, -sh, -x (la fel ca si la prezentul simplu) adauga -es ca si terminatie: e.g.: bus-buses watch-watches box-boxes wish-wishes class-classes

Evident ca sunt si exceptiile, irregular plural, pluralul neregulat al unor substantive precum: Man-men Child-children Woman-women Ox-oxen (bou) Foot-feet Tooth-teeth Goose-geese Mouse-mice Sheep-sheep Deer-deer (caprioara) Species-species (specie) Series-series (serie) Means-means (mijloace, resurse) Mai sunt si substantivele care provin din latina/greaca si care pastreaza terminatiile din limbile respective: e.g.: phenomenon-phenomena medium-media (de unde si mass-media) datum-data crisis-crises

! Substantivele ADVICE, HOMEWORK, KNOWLEDGE, INFORMATION, LUGGAGE, MONEY si PROGRESS nu au plural.
