Latin - Plural of Scelus

Could someone tell me what the plural of scelus is? It's summer holidays so my latin is rusty and I can't find it anywhere.

And while I'm at it, is the plural of virtus 'virtutes' ?

Also, could someone tell me how you would, in Latin, say "That which I hear" or "That which is heard"? I think it can be one in one word but I can't remember what that is called.

Isn't that singular genitive?

The plural of scelus is scelera. It's neutre.
As for virtus, it's indeed virtutes, since this word is feminine.

When you say "That which I hear", I suppose you mean "What I hear", this is shorter and sounds better in both languages I think.

So I'd say :
"What I hear" : "Quod audio".
"What is heard" : "Quod auditur".
