Plural(please)
Hi, there

I have been told you shouldn't use plural with proper nouns like "The First and Second Continental Congress". You shouldn't say "The First and Second Continental Congressses". Then why do you say "The First and Second World WarS" and "The First and Second Peace ConferenceS." They are proper nouns

Please...

I think you have been told wrong informatoin.  You can absolutely say the First and Second Continental Congresses!

Proper nouns can definitely be pluralized.  Hope this helps!
