Rule 3
If a noun ends in a consonant plus y, the y
changes to i before es is added. Note: If the
noun ends in a vowel plus y, just add s.
What are the vowels?
a
e
i
o
u
All the other letters are consonants.
So
Play ends in a (vowel) and y therefore the
plural form is plays.
Monkey ends in e (vowel) and y therefore the
plural form is monkeys.
Likewise
Party ends in t (consonant) and y therefore
the plural form is parties.
Candy ends in d (consonant) and y therefore
the plural form is candies.
Singular Plural
boy boys
baby babies
lily lilies
family families
