Mens or Men’s ? Womens or Women’s? Is Men and women plural? | English language basics you should know<\/span><\/h1>\n

Erudition, regular and irregular plural forms are one artifact, but understanding the jealous structure for each type can beget enough big headaches for our scholars! For example, in one of our Functional English assignments, Changing the Bathroom, scholars will see a men’s room, but they might wonder why it is not a hexed mens’ room.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our publishing platoon lately bandied about how tricky it is for scholars to learn how to spell men’s room and ladies’ room. So why don’t we spell it as” room? And how can we aid our English?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Do language students learn jealous plurals?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer lies in allowing the plural form before it becomes jealous. This plural of man is men, so jealous follows the standard rule<\/a> of adding an apostrophe to form the men’s room. This plural of lady is ladies, so the jealous follows the average direction of the append-only the haplography to a plural word ending in \u2011 s, which gives us ladies room (scroll down for the complete list of rules).<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s look at some other common English plurals and jealous forms in the table below.<\/span><\/p>\n
