Singular means one. Plural means more than one. To form a plural noun, we usually (but not always) add the letter -s to the end of the singular word. Some examples of singular nouns and their corresponding plural forms are:
desk - desks
girl - girls
bowl- bowls
key - keys
When the singular word ends with s, tch, sh, x, z, we form the plural by adding -es to the singular noun. Some examples of singular nouns with -es endings to form plural nouns are:
kiss - kisses
watch - watches
dish - dishes
When the singular word ends with a -y following a consonant, we take away the -y and add -ies to form the plural noun. Some examples of singular nouns ending in -y following a consonant are:
baby - babies
country- countries
daddy - daddies
Some singular nouns have irregular plural forms. We can memorize these plural nouns. Some examples of singular nouns with their irregular plural forms are:
child- children
appendix - appendices
Some singular nouns and plural forms look the same; they do not make any changes in the plural form. Some examples of singular nouns and their plurals are:

fish - fish
There are several different examples that could be used to show pluralism. Some of these examples are religions, society, and laws.
