entries
The plural of "entry" is entries.
When a noun ends in a consonant followed by y, the y changes to i and -es is added: entries.
Meaning: a piece of writing in a diary or dictionary, or something sent to a contest (noun)
How does it change in a sentence?
Use a plural verb with entries: the entries are. The possessive plural adds only an apostrophe: entries'.
How do you pronounce it?
entry is pronounced /ˈɛntɹi/. The plural ending sounds like /z/.
What mistakes should you avoid?
Change the y to i before adding -es: entries. The y stays only when a vowel comes before it, as in days.

- Family names keep their y in the plural: the Kennedys, not the Kennedies.
