What is the plural of monkey?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the plural form of the word 'monkey'. The plural of 'monkey' is formed by adding 's' to the end of the word.

More Information

The pluralization rule for nouns ending in 'y' preceded by a vowel is to simply add 's'. Hence, 'monkey' becomes 'monkeys'.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming 'y' is always replaced with 'ies' in plural forms. If the 'y' follows a vowel, only 's' is added.
