That’s correct As you can see class, to make the singular noun into a plural noun you just have to add s or es to the noun. Did you get it? The nouns that form their plural by adding s or es are what we call regular nouns. ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITY 4 - Direction: Choose the correct form of the plural nouns in the following sentences. 1. Mother bought some (fish, fishes) at the market. 2.
