Words ending in -o form plural by adding '-s'. In some resources I have read some of these words needs '-es' to make plural (e.g. echo, buffalo). However it seems both form of all such words (-s or -es) are recorded in dictionaries. So is it correct to form plural form of all o-ending word by only adding '-s'?
Answer
Acording to this excellent presentaion, there are only a few words that must be pluriezed using only -es. Here is a list of such words:
- potato
- tomato
- echo
- hero
- veto
- embargo
- torpedo
(feel free to add any missing word to the list)
