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 - desksgirl - girlsbowl- bowlskey - keysWhen 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 - kisseswatch - watchesdish - dishesWhen 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 - babiescountry- countriesdaddy - daddiesSome singular nouns have irregular plural forms.
