Question

Identify the plural form of the following noun: mango
a)mangos
b)mangoes
c)mangoez
d)mangos'

Answer 1

Hint: Mango is a noun used to describe a drupe that is produced from numerous species of tropical trees belonging to the genus Mangifera.

Complete step by step answer:
Mango is a noun used to refer to a variety of drupe fruit. It is a singular noun as it refers to just one mango. In English, the most common plural forms have -s or -es added to the word. In case of mango, addition of -s is incorrect. Hence the option, mangos gets marked out.

Mangoez is not a dictionary word and has no meaning to it and hence is incorrect and cannot be considered a plural form of mango. Mangos' will be used when we are referring to something related with mango. Hence it isn’t the plural form of the noun mango as well.

Mangoes is the correct plural form of the singular noun, mango. It is used to refer to more than one mango or it’s variety. Addition of -es to the noun mango provides us with a correct and meaningful plural form of the noun.

Example: My uncle brought mangoes from his farm.

Note: Both mangoes and mangos are accepted plural form of the noun mango but mangoes is the more commonly used and accepted one.
