The plural of 'half' is 'halves' - nouns ending in -f or -fe typically change to -ves in plural form (knife/knives, leaf/leaves). This follows the standard rule for -f ending words.

The plural of 'brother-in-law' is 'brothers-in-law' - for compound nouns, only the main noun (brother) is pluralized, not the descriptive phrase (in-law). The same rule applies to mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, etc.

The plural of 'ferry' is 'ferries' - for words ending in consonant + y, change y to i and add -es. This follows the standard spelling rule for -y endings (baby/babies, city/cities).

The plural of 'wife' is 'wives' - similar to half/halves, words ending in -f or -fe change to -ves. Other examples include knife/knives, life/lives, wolf/wolves.

The plural of valley is valleys. Words ending in 'y' preceded by a consonant typically change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es', but valley follows the standard pattern of simply adding 's'. Vallies is incorrect - the 'y' doesn't change to 'i' in this case. Valley is singular, and Valleive is not a valid word form.

Series is both singular and plural - it's an invariant plural like sheep, deer, and fish. Serieses incorrectly adds an 'es' ending. Serious is a different word meaning important or grave. Serive is not a valid English word.

The correct spelling is apocalypse with 'apo' at the start, 'calyp' in the middle, and 'se' at the end. It comes from Greek apokalypsis meaning revelation. Appocalypse has an incorrect 'p' instead of 'c'. Apocalyps misses the final 'e'. Apoccalyps has an extra 'c' and missing 'e'.

Inquisitiveness is formed from 'inquisitive' + 'ness', so it's spelled i-n-q-u-i-s-i-t-i-v-e-n-e-s-s with double 's' at the end. Inqisitivenes misses 'u', 'i', and the final 's'. Enquisitiveness incorrectly starts with 'E'. Incuisitiveness has wrong vowels and misses 'i' before 'tiveness'.

Je sais means 'I know' in French - it's the first person singular of savoir (to know). Je veux means 'I want' from vouloir. J'ai means 'I have' from avoir. Je suis means 'I am' from être.

Jeudi is indeed the French word for Thursday. The days of the week in French are lundi (Monday), mardi (Tuesday), mercredi (Wednesday), jeudi (Thursday), vendredi (Friday), samedi (Saturday), and dimanche (Sunday). This is a straightforward vocabulary fact.
