"Fish", "sheep", and "trout" are three exceptions to the -s/-es rule for making words plural. Most nouns, such as "sock" and "box", can be made plural by adding -es or -s to the end (sock would become socks and box would become boxes). Certain nouns, such as moose and the above three nouns, stay the same in spelling for both singular and plural spelling. Our English language can be very confusing!
