adding –s.
 To make words that end with s, ss, ch,h,
x, or z plural, add –es.
Plurals
 To find the singular form of many words,
just cover the final s or es.
 But some singular words change when
they become plural.
 To make words that end in a consonant
and y plural, we change y to i.
 To find the singular form, we need to
change the i back to y.
