Nouns ending in y preceded by a vowel form their plurals by adding?

English

exis [7]3 years ago

There are clear rules in transforming singular nouns to plural nouns. Below are the rules that involve words ending in y.

Nouns ending in y preceded by a vowel form their plurals by only adding -s. For example, we have the words:
boy-boys
key-keys
day-days
valley-valleys
joy-joys

However, it a noun ending in y is preceded by a consonant, the y is changed to i and -es is added. For example, we have the words:
baby-babies
lady-ladies
calamity-calamities
ceremony-ceremonies
butterfly-butterflies

What is a basic word part that comes from another language?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer: Root

Explanation:

Affix, is produced when a grammatical element is being joined with a word, or phrase in order for an infected form of the word to be produced. Affix are typically of three firms which are the prefixes, the innfixes, and the suffixes.

Word roots are simply the words that are taken from other languages and it should be noted that these are where majority of English words come from. Some English words have either Greek or Latin origins. Roots are basic word part that comes from another language.

A prefix is a group of letters that are typically placed before a word's root. e.g "un" which means not can be seen in words like unhappy which simply means not happy.

Unlike prefixes, the suffixes are not added at the start but rather at the end of that word e.g ment, ness etc.

Therefore, based on the explanation, the answer is root.

What do movie people do to create a setting? What tools do they have? Are those tools available to authors?
Gelneren [198K]

Movie people are able to write up how they want a scene to look like, then they can use things like backgrounds and crops to make a visual representation of how they want their scene to look like. Authors don't have things like props and backgrounds, so they have to put a lot of detail into their writing for readers to visualize.

50 points and brainliest for the answers (do not answer if you arent gonna give me the answers aka dont be rude)
Sliva [168]

Answer:

1. On the other side of the world

2. Grandmother Spider used teamwork and logic with the buzzard.

3. The babbling brooks and children learn that sometimes change is good and that things aren't always the way they seen.

4. It is true that foxes have dark noses and possums have a bare tail, but it is different because these animals can talk and get along with each other.

5. The story suggests Grandmother Spider is wise and thinks about things before doing them.

6. I think "How Grandmother Spider Stole the Sun" is titled like this because the story is about how the spider used teamwork to get the sun for her and her friends.

7. When Quetzelcoatl got to the Sun, everyone groaned and complained.

"Quetzelcoatl, why do you have to be here? You are boring and bland just like the Earth."

Normally, Quetzelcoatl would have gotten very angry, but after everything he had done, he just cried. Soon, he had filled up the house of the sun with his tears. The water soaked all the musicians. They didn't want to sing ever again.  The Sun and its musicians no longer sang. The Earth with all its plants shriveled up and died. Without music the Earth was nothing.

Find three ratlos equivalent to the ratio described in the situation
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

2 to 8

3 to 12

4 to 16

Explanation:

Ratio of cups of water to cups of milk = 1 to 4 = 1 : 4

Thus, three equivalent ratios of the situation described above will be:

✔️Since 1 cup of water is to 4 cups of milk (¼) therefore:

2 cups of water will require x cups of milk (²/x)

Thus:

¼ = ²/x

Cross multiply

x = 4*2

x = 8

Equivalent ratio: 2 to 8

✔️Since 1 cup of water is to 4 cups of milk (¼) therefore:

3 cups of water will require x cups of milk (³/x)

Thus:

¼ = ³/x

Cross multiply

x = 4*3

x = 12

Equivalent ratio: 3 to 12

✔️Since 1 cup of water is to 4 cups of milk (¼) therefore:

4 cups of water will require x cups of milk (⁴/x)

Thus:

¼ = ⁴/x

Cross multiply

x = 4*4

x = 16

Equivalent ratio: 4 to 12
