What is a plural form?
Plural forms are used when we are talking of more than one person, animal, thing, or idea. Usually, plural forms use the same word and simply add an s, es, and ies to the end. There are different rules in changing a singular noun to a plural form that depends on what letter a noun ends in. However, several irregular nouns do not follow these rules and need to be memorized.

Here are the most common plural noun rules to remember:
1. Add -s or -es to the end of a regular noun
Example: dog - dogs, bag - bags
2. Add -es to the end of a singular noun that ends in -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z
Example: box- boxes
3. Double the -s or -z before adding the -es of singular nouns ending in -s, or -z
Example: fez - fezzes
4. Change to -ve and add -s for a noun that ends with -f, or -fe
Example: life - lives, leaf - leaves
