We are going to have a look at how to spell the plural of words ending in -y.

If the word ends in a consonant + y then 'y' changes to 'ies':

Baby = babies

Cry = cries

If the word ends in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) + y then just add 's':

Boy = boys

Tray = trays

 

Let's practise!

Choose the plural of the word 'berry'. (berrys/berries/beries)

The correct spelling is berries.
