In English, almost all nouns pluralize by adding an 's' or an 'es': dog, dogs; box, boxes.

Other nouns pluralize by changing their spelling: man, men; person, people.

Still others do so by adding a suffix: child, children; ox, oxen.

A few, based on Latin words, change their suffix: datum, data; radius, radii.

And some don't change at all: sheep, sheep; offspring, offspring.

There are other ways to pluralize, but you get the idea.
