Family ---> families

If it ended with y preceded by a vowel sound then u dont change y to i

Boy ------> boys
Toy -----> toys
Etc.

Answer 2

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

We form the plural of nouns that end with a consonant + “y” by changing the “y” to “i” and adding “-es:” For example, city - cities, lady - ladies, activity - activities. The only exception is when creating the plural of proper nouns ending in consonant + “y” such as Kennedy, whose plural is Kennedys.

On the other hand, when a noun ends with a vowel + “y”, we form its plural adding an “s” only. For example, monkey - monkeys, boy - boys, valley - valleys.
