Plural nouns: -s

Explanation

English marks more than one with -s on the noun: one brother → two brothers, one book → three books. After a number bigger than one, the noun is always plural — you cannot say "two brother". Most nouns just add -s; one common irregular is child → children. Many languages do not mark plural at all, so it is easy to forget the -s — but in English, after a number it is not optional.

Examples

  • I have two brothers.I have two brothers.
  • She has three friends.She has three friends.
  • They have five books.They have five books.
  • I have one child. They have two children. (irregular)I have one child. They have two children. (irregular)
