All about Singular and Plural
Singular means one, and plural means more than one. Most nouns form their plural by adding -s, as in cat and cats. Words ending in -s, -x, -ch and -sh usually add -es, as in bus and buses.
Some plurals are irregular: child becomes children, mouse becomes mice, and some words stay the same, such as sheep and fish. Knowing these patterns makes spelling and grammar easier.
