6. cats 16. skies

7. phones 17. planes

8. pianos 18. flowers

9. heroes 19. bananas

10. schools 20. dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Most words in English have a regular plural, formed when we add -s to the word's ending. For example: computers, tables, cats, phones, etc.

Some regular plurals have a few extra rules to follow.

  • Words ending in consonant + y must drop the -y and change it for -ies. For example: sky - skies.
  • Some regular plural words ending in -o receive -es instead of just -s. That is the case of "heroes". However, notice that the same does not happen to "pianos". That is because of the origin of the word.
  • It is also common for words ending in -f to substitute the -f for -ves: knife - knives; wolf - wolves.

Finally, some words have an irregular plural form. In this case, it is easier to memorize them: goose - geese; child - children; foot - feet.
