Question

Exercise 2 Write the plural of each word. calf

Answer 1

The plural of calf is calves.

The general rule to form plural nouns is adding an -s at the end of the singular noun.

There are exceptions to this rule, regarding the last letters of the singular noun.

If the singular noun ends with an -f or -fe, to form the plural we must drop the -f or -fe and add -ive.

This explains why the plural of calf is calves.

Other examples of nouns ending in -f and -fe are:

• wife → wives
• life → lives
• leaf → leaves
