What is the Plural Form of Body?
The plural form of the word “body” is
bodies
.
This is a standard English pluralization rule. When a noun ends in “y” and the letter before the “y” is a consonant (like “d” in “body”), you typically change the “y” to “i” and add “es” to form the plural.
Here are a few more examples of words that follow the same rule:
- baby – babies
- city – cities
- country – countries
Therefore, if you’re referring to more than one physical structure, organization, or objectreferred to as a “body,” you would use “bodies”.
