Literacy Lessons - 18/10/12

Two things to remember when making a word plural (more than one) that ends in 'y'

1. If there is a vowel (a e i o u) before the 'y' just add 's'

e.g. boys, employs, destroys, stays, monkeys

2. If there is a consonant (all letters except vowels) before the 'y' change the 'y' to 'i' and add es.

e.g. worry = worries, dicovery = discoveries, pony = ponies and spy = spies
