What is the plural of the noun ‘chimney’?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Chimneys
Plural of nouns ending in a vowel + y:
When a noun ends in a vowel + y, it keeps the y and takes -s. Chimney ends in e + y. So chimney → chimneys. “Chimnies” is wrong because y changes to -ies only after a consonant.
