Question

How do you make the last name Perez plural? Does the rule for “s” also apply to “z”?

Answer 1

Hint: Check each suffix. It is important for the suffix to be grammatically correct. Then, check for any incorrect punctuation. The punctuation also determines the correctness of the word. Accordingly, write the most appropriate answer.

Complete answer: First, let us understand the nature of the word “Perez”. The word “Perez” is a proper noun, as it is the last name. So, there are certain rules to making this word plural. Since it is a proper noun, we need to find what we need to make it plural. The question does not specify a purpose. So, we will make it a basic plural.

It is very necessary to understand the difference between singular and plural nouns. A singular noun only names one person, place, thing, or, idea, while a plural noun names multiple persons, places, things, and, ideas. A plural noun conveys that there is more than one of that particular noun. Usually, singular nouns are made plural by simply adding ‘-s’ or ‘-es’ at the end.
For example, the noun ‘book’ implies that there is only one book. It can be made plural by
just adding ‘-s’ at the end, i.e. ‘books’. Likewise, the noun ‘match’ can be made plural by
adding ‘-es’ at the end, i.e. ‘matches’.

However, there are some exceptions like ‘fish’ and ‘deer’ which stay the same in their
plural and singular forms. However, the noun ‘Perez’ can be taken to be a regular noun, ending in ‘z’. The rule that is used for ’s’ is that a suffix of ‘es’ is added to make it plural. This is the same rule that is applied to ch, sh, s, x, and z.

So, the plural of the word ‘Perez’ is written is ‘Perezes’.

Note: Each of the suffixes will display different meanings. Try to look for the correct suffix
and its placement. Nouns can be converted into plural form by adding ‘-s’ or ‘-es’. They
usually do not contain apostrophes, but there are exceptions to this rule.
