Singular / Plural

Consonant + y → -ies: city → cities; vowel + y → -s: boy → boys. 4. -f/-fe → -ves: leaf → leaves (but roofs, chiefs). 5. Irregular: man → men, child → children, foot → feet, mouse → mice. 6. Same form: sheep, deer, fish. 7. Uncountable nouns have no plural: information, furniture, advice. 8. Some nouns are always plural: trousers, scissors, glasses.

Explanation
