Generally, when pluralizing a word, just add an "s."

apple = apples
cat = cats
The exceptions are:
Words ending in "y" — if there's a consonant before the letter "y," change the "y" to an "ie" before adding an "s":

candy = candies
lady = ladies
Exception to this exception:
If there is a vowel before the "y," just add an "s":

monkey = monkeys
Words ending in "s," "ch," "sh," or "x" — add an "es" to these words:

fox = foxes
dress = dresses
wish = wishes
latch = latches
Words ending in "f" or "fe" — generally, the plural of these words will end in "ves":

life = lives
leaf = leaves

I'm a smart student and for the most part did well in school as a kid, I have plenty of friends and a great life, but school hasn't been working for me. Its not like I'm a slacker or anything, but the way the school system is set up is driving me crazy. hours of writing and repeating just wears me down and turns me bitter. I'm going to an independent study high school right now but I'm starting to see I wont last at it. I like the stuff I'm learning and I love to learn but the way school does it just hasn't worked. I don't know where to go from here. i know i cant last through another 3 years of high school and keep up good grades. Is dropping out really so bad if I do other things to be smart? And is it really so hard to make a good life (and a good living) as a high school drop out?

I have pretty much the stereotypical personality of someone majoring in journalism, philosophy, or communications. I realized I needed to study some thing that would make me money. I'm an engineer, but I was all day in the Communications and Arts bulding becuase I was just never able to get along with the other people majoring in engineering.

All my friends now who graduated from journalism, philosophy, communications, theatre, or art years ago, have a job you could've easily gotten with just a highschool degree.

What the point? Why do some people study those careers?

I am to start teaching in a 6th grade class this Tuesday in an urban setting. I have never taught outside of my field work and student teaching before this and I am not even sure what to bring with me on the 1st day I am there. The students will have been there a week, so I am coming in after school already started for them. I do not know what is being taught by the other teachers. They have 6 groups of 4-5 teachers that stay with the kids for 3 years until high school. Usually the teachers get together and set curriculum and I am hoping it is in place to make it easier on me. Still the 1st day I am not sure what to bring other than a notebook and something to write with. Should I bring all my stuff for my desk as well? I don't even know what I am asking really other than does anyone have any ideas on how I should approach this. Mind you, it is an urban setting and I am a white guy. Not that it matters to me, but it may to some of them! Any advice would be more than welcome!
