Note
A regular plural, made with a simple -s, and it belongs only to the noun. When sophomore works as an adjective, as in a sophomore album or sophomore year, it never inflects, so "the sophomores year" is a slip. The plural usually names second-year students in American and Philippine schools and colleges. In the US it can also mean three-year-old horses.
