--description--

When a noun ending in y becomes plural, the y often changes to ies. This rule is particularly useful in technology contexts where certain terms frequently end in y.

--questions--

--text--

How do you form the plural of nouns ending in y?

--answers--

By changing y to ys

--feedback--

This is not the usual rule. Generally, y changes to ies for plurals, as in query to queries.


By adding s

--feedback--

For most nouns ending in y, simply adding s is not correct. For example, directory becomes directories, not directorys.


By changing y to ies


By removing y

--feedback--

Removing the y is not the correct way to form plurals. The y usually changes to ies in plurals, like binary to binaries.
