哦,复数要那一撇吗?不是直接加个s吗?
If you don't know how to make a word plural, check the dictionary.
The Basics
• Most nouns are made plural simply by adding an s to the end.
• For words that end in ch, x, s or s-like sounds, you will need to add an es.
• The above two rules apply to proper names.
• If the word ends in y with a consonant before the y, change the y to ie and add an s. If there is a vowel before the y, simply add s.
• Some plurals will need to be memorized because the ending of the word is changed (knife/knives or child/children)
• The only time an apostrophe is used to make a plural is when you are using lower case letters as a word unto themselves, such as "The typewriter isn't making n's anymore." However, some style guides indicate that you should also use an apostrophe when pluralizing abbreviations (like UFO's) or numbers (like 80's). This is up for debate, so choose which method you like best and be consistent.
