questions
The plural of "question" is questions.
Most English nouns form the plural by adding -s, and question follows this rule.
Meaning: a sentence that asks for information (noun)
How does it change in a sentence?
Use a plural verb with questions: the questions are. The possessive plural adds only an apostrophe: questions'.
How do you pronounce it?
question is pronounced /ˈkwɛs.tʃən/. The plural ending sounds like /z/.
What mistakes should you avoid?
Do not use an apostrophe to make a plural. questions means more than one, while an apostrophe shows that something belongs to someone.
Did you know?
- The -s plural goes back to the Old English ending -as, which belonged to only one group of nouns, as in stānas, "stones". By the end of the Middle Ages it had spread to almost every noun.
