Words that end in “y” have two rules when converting to plurals. Sometimes you just add –s. Other times, you change the “y” to “i” and add –es. The letter directly in front of the “y” determines which way you form the plural. When the letter in front of the “y” is a vowel, you only add –s: donkey / donkeys play / plays When the letter in front of the “y” is a consonant, change the “y” to “i” and add –es: berry / berries tendency / tendencies
