A singular noun names one person, place, thing, or idea, while a plural noun names more than one person, place, thing, or idea.

There are a few basic rules to remember when it comes to turning a singular noun into a plural noun.

1.    Most singular nouns need an 's' at the end to become plural.

2.    Singular nouns ending in 's', 'ss', 'sh', 'ch', 'x', or 'z' need an 'es' at the end to become plural.

3.    Some nouns are the same in both their singular and plural forms.

4.    Some nouns ending in 'f' require that you change the 'f' to a 'v' and then add an 'es' at the end to make them plural.

5.    Nouns that end in 'y' preceded by a consonant require that you change the 'y' to an 'i', and then add an 'es' at the end to make them plural.

6.    Some nouns have an irregular plural form.
