Rule of Singular Plural (y changes to ies)

Good Morning BOYS,

In the previous class we learned the rule of 

Y changing to IES (while changing singular to plural)


Let us observe some words

             Singular                  Plural

              Boy                        Boys

              Toy                         Toys

              Baby                       Babies

                            Fly                          Flies


As you can see, in the first two words

The Singular word
 ended with Y with a vowel before it


In the last two words

The singular word 
ended with Y with a consonant before it


The rule says,

If the word ends with a Y with a consonant before it, you change the Y to IES to make it plural
