This module helps Macintosh users to study and practise the different ways of forming the plural of English nouns. People sometimes think that to form an English plural you just add 's'. This module may hold some surprises. It is useful to native English speakers and to those learning English as a foreign language. It contains 1400 English nouns, for example city/cities, box/boxes, leaf/leaves, and many less-common types. You choose the kind of noun that you want to practise, and the program presents the singular form of a noun. You type the plural form of the noun, and the program marks your answer. It will show the correct answer if you want. The language is British-English (American-English variants are noted). You can change or delete existing entries, add new words, and construct groups of nouns that you want to practise. Translations in Italian are included, and Italian users can use it to practise translation. Jacek Iwanski.
