Singular and Plural Nouns for beginners
Anything that is just one in quantity is singular. But what if there is more than one? Nouns that are two or more are called plurals! Simple, yes? Let's see!
What Are Singular and Plural Nouns?
When we want to talk about more than one person, animal, place, thing, or idea, we should use plural nouns.
Most plural nouns are formed by adding '-s' to the end of the nouns.

Spelling
If the singular noun ends in s, x, z, ch, sh, we make the plural form by adding '-es'.
