    Subject

    Is there a plural form for canvas?

    [art.][form.][pl.][Norddeutschland]

    I was wondering if there is a plural form for canvas (canvas meaning an art print on a screen) - is it canvasas? Or is it still canvas?

    If no plural is listed in a dictionary you can assume it's regular. Words ending in S regularly add -es.

    Canvasses is the third person singular of the verb Dictionary: to canvass

    tipster, im Merriam-Webster wird als alternative Schreibweise zum Substantiv "canvas" auch "canvass" angegeben, insofern is "canvasses" auch korrekt.

    Try an internet search with a word for context such as artist, painter, museum, conservation. It would be very surprising if canvas(es) did not win by a wide margin.
