True

Most nouns that end with consonant+y change the y to i and add -es. For example, city-cities, baby-babies, duty-duties, secretary-secretaries. This is not true of words that end in vowel+y. These nouns often just add s. For example, valley-valleys, alley-alleys, monkey-monkeys.

There are many other rules about pluralizing nouns. Most words just add s for the plural form. Some others such as ss, ch, and others that are similar add and es to the word. In a few cases the verb doesn't change forms in their mouth.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

If you always try your best

Then you’ll never have to wonder

About what you could have done

If you’d summoned all your thunder.

And if your best

Was not as good

As you hoped it would be,

You still could say,

“I gave today

All that I had in me.”

In the book sounder, Armstrong says: “Each bark bounced from slope to slope in the foothills like a rubber ball.” What does the
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Sounder tells the story of an African American boy, his family, and their beloved coonhound. As in author William H. Armstrong's book, none of the main charac- ters has a name-except the dog, Sounder.

" 'Sounder and me must be about the same age,' the boy said, tugging gently at one of the coon dog's ears, and then the other," the book tells us as it introduces this canine who is named for his bark that resonates across the countryside when he trees a raccoon or opossum.

Sounder is not a true story, but it is an accurate piece of historical fiction about a black sharecropper's family in the southern area of the United...

The boy hears his father may be in Bartow and later Gilmer counties, but the author does not specify where the boy lives. Sounder won the Newbery Award in 1970 and was made into a major motion picture in 1972.

ExplPatterned after a story told to Armstrong by an older school-teacher, the novel is concerned, in part, with the family's loyal coon dog named Sounder—named for his resonant howl that reverberates across the country-side—whose fate in many ways parallels the life of the narrator's unjustly treated father.
