Rule #1
The plural of nouns is usually formed by adding s to a singular noun.
Example: lamp, lamps; cat, cats; fork, forks; flower, flowers; pen, pens
Rule #2
Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch form the plural by adding es.
Example: moss, mosses buzz, buzzes box, boxes
dish, dishes church, churches
Special Note:
If you add s to such nouns as fox, bush, and bench, you will find that you cannot
pronounce them without making an additional syllable. This is why such nouns
form the plural by adding es.
Rule #3
Nouns ending in y preceded by a consonant is formed into a plural by changing
y to ies. Examples: lady, ladies; city, cities; army, armies
Rule #4
Nouns ending in y preceded by a vowel form their plurals by adding s.
Example: boy, boys; day, days
Rule #5
Most nouns ending in o preceded by a consonant is formed into a plural by
adding es. Example: hero; heroes; grotto, grottoes
Rule #6
Some nouns ending in f or fe are made plural by changing f or fe to ves.
