Just by mastering few things, we can increase our scores.



The main thing or concept in English which conveys the meaning any word or sentence is NOUN

Firstly, we need to judge what kind a noun must be either singular or plural.

                                  Singular                    Plural                        

                           Woman                         Women             

               Sheep                            Sheep

               Fish                               Fish

                Foot                               Feet

                 News                              News

                    Politics                           Politics

There are those words which remains same, but, candidates get confused in exam in Listening especially.


                                  Singular                     Plural                        

                          Pants                             Pants            

                  Scissors                         Scissors

                    Pajamas                         Pajamas

                 Water                             Water

                   Gold                               Gold

                    Sand                               Sand


 Now, lets have bit more clearance about this:

Those words ending with s, ch,sh and x  will have 'es' when they converted into plural.

Glass -into- Glasses 

Dish -into- Dishes

Watch -into- Watches

Box -into- Boxes

But, if the word is ending with 'Y' and while converting that word into plural will have 'ies' onthe place of 'Y'.

Family -into- Families

Fly -into- Flies

Sky -into- Skies

Dry -into- Dries

Many candidates write Fly into Family or Familys and lose overall band score.

Moreover, Noun ending with 'O' have 'es' to become a plural word.

Do -into- Does

Tomato -into- Tomatoes

Potato -into- Potatoes

Hero -into- Heroes

If a noun is ended with 'oo' then it will be written it as noun+s only, such as Bamboo -into- Bamboos

Noun ending with f/fe will changes into 'ves'

Thief -into- Thieves 

Shelf -into- Shelves

Leaf -into- Leaves

Wife -into- Wives

Here too, candidates do a lot many mistakes.


In IELTS most of the answers are nouns either it is in listening or in reading module.

Do Remember, Singular or Plural answers matter a lot, false noun will give 0 as an incorrect spelling.
