. Plural Nouns
-s ending - Plurals are generally made by adding -s to the noun. For example:
Cat - cats, tree - trees, building - buildings.
There are a number of exceptions to this rule, here are some of the most common ones.
-es ending: Nouns ending with -o, -s, -x, -z, -ch, and -sh usually add -es to the noun. For example:
tomatoes, dresses, foxes, quizzes, watches, stashes.
- ies ending: Nouns ending with a consonant + -y usually replace the -y with -ies. For example:
country - countries, party - parties.
- ves ending: Some nouns ending in -f replace the -f with -ves. For example:
wife - wives, knife - knives, elf - elves.
As always, memorizing these rules is probably less helpful and much less interesting than exposing yourself to real English usage and learning them at the same time
