There are four major groups of words ending in -es and a special case:
- plurals of words ending in E (bone-bones, face-faces)
- plurals of words ending in CH, SH S, X, or SS (beach-beaches, leash-leashes, gas-gases, tax-taxes, compass-compasses)
- plurals of some words ending in Y, becoming -IES (copy-copies, reply-replies)
- third-person singular verb forms of some verbs ending in E or Y (see-sees, seize- seizes
The special case is for words from Greek that end in -IS, which form an ES plural
(axis-axes, basis-bases, analysis-analyses).
