Question

The plural of ‘money’ is moneys.
A) Yes
B) No

Answer 1

Hint: Plural of a noun means ‘more than one’. It is the opposite of singular. In the above question we have to see if the plural of the word ‘money’ is moneys or not.For that we need to understand the rules related to converting a word from singular to plural.

Complete answer:
Yes, the plural of money is not ‘money’. Money is a noun which refers to the currency used for exchange and purchase. It can be in the form of coins, notes or online money.

When converting a singular noun ending in -y to plural we need to remember 2 things-
If the letter before -y is a consonant then its plural form will replace -y with -ies.
If the letter before -y is a vowel then its plural form will replace -y with -s.

Therefore, as the letter before ‘y’ in the word money is ‘e’ (a vowel) the plural form replaces -y with -s. The plural will be moneys. However, both the plural forms i.e. ‘moneys’ and ‘monies’ are acceptable in english.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Money is not usually used in plural forms. It is an uncountable noun. The plural form is used mostly when we are talking about more than one form of money, more than one source of money or more than one type of currency.
