Spelling: Plurals

Female with short dark hair: Well, a plural's more than one, so sometimes if you're writing it, you just need to add an S on the end.

Male Council employee wearing blue and grey jacket: In my job with the council I come across plurals every day in our working lives.

Male with short grey hair wearing black suit: The word 'cow', to make it a plural it's an S, to 'cows'.

Male Council employee wearing blue and grey jacket: Sometimes you can see them on posters, like this Trust Oldham posters here.

Now, the plurals here are the 'values' and the 'behaviours'.

Female with short red hair: There's also instances where the spelling of the word completely changes, such as man to men, woman to women.

Male Council employee wearing blue and grey jacket: Sometimes you can just put an S on the end, and it might look like a plural and it's not, like when it's Tom's birthday.

Doesn't mean there's more than one Tom, it just means it's Tom, it's his birthday.

Well, here you can see we're using the word 'values' and the word 'behaviours', there's more than one value, there's more than one behaviour.

Female with short dark hair: If you've got one fish, and you can have three fish, it's still fish.

Unknown Male: No, but there is a plural, it's 'fishes'.

Female with short dark hair: No, there isn't.

There's a school of fish.

Sheep are sheep.

Female with dark hair wearing brown cardigan: One sheep, two sheep.
