No, such nouns are treated as singular. For example, give me a glass of beer. Glass ends in s, but you still say "a glass" indicating the singlular.


Can you give an example of plural forms?

There are two types of plural nouns in English: regularand irregular.A regular plural noun is formed by adding an "s" or an "es" to the end of the noun.An irregular plural noun is formed in some other way.The majority of nouns simply add an "s" to the end of the noun. For example:apple > applesbook > bookscat > catsdaughter > daughtersegg > eggsIf a word ends in s, x, ch, sh add "es" to the end. For example:moss > mossesbox > boxesbus > buseschurch > churchesbush > bushesOne exception to this rule, is if the ch ending is pronounced with a "k" sound, you add "s" rather than "es": stomach > stomachsepoch > epochsIf a word ends in z add "zes" to the end. For example:quiz > quizzesbuzz > buzzesIf a word ending in y is preceded by a vowel add "s". For example:essay > essaysvalley > valleysThe following are examples of irregular plural nouns.If a word ending in y is preceded by a consonant change the y to "ies". For example:country > countriessecretary > secretariesreply > repliesIf a word ends with f or fe (but not ff or ffe) change the f or fe to "ves". For example:knife > knivesshelf > shelveswolf > wolvesSome nouns have irregular plural forms that don't end in s.

For example:deer > deeroffspring > offspringsalmon > salmonsheep > sheepSome nouns have unusual plural forms that are derived from other languages.
