What are the rules forming plural nouns?

Answer:
A plural noun names more than one person, place, or thing. Here are four rules to make plural nouns.

* To make most nouns plural, add an s to the end of the word. The plural of flower is flowers.

* Some plural nouns end in es. If a noun ends in s, z, ch, sh, or x, add es to make it plural. The plural of dish is dishes.

* When a noun ends in a y, change the y to an i and add es. The plural of blueberry is blueberries.

* Some plural nouns are unusual. The plural of child is children
In English the most common way of forming a plural noun is by adding -s to end of the singular.
1. adding -es to the word
2. changing the y to i & adding -es
3. dropping the last letter & adding -ies
4. adding -s to the word
