Answer:

A Noun that denotes one person or thing, is said to be in the Singular form as,

Boy, girl, cow, bird, tree, book, pen.

A Noun that denotes more than one person or thing, is said to be in the Plural form

as,

Boys, girls, cows, birds, trees, books, pens.

Thus there are two Numbers in English-the Singular and the Plural.

 

The Plural of nouns is generally formed by adding -s to the singular,

boy: boys , pen: pens , girl: girls , desk: desks

 

Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, or -x form the plural by adding -es to the singular

class : classes , dish: dishes , box: boxes

 

Most Nouns ending in -o also form the plural by adding -es to the singular

buffalo: buffaloes , potato: potatoes

 

A few nouns ending in -o merely add -s,

dynamo: dynamos , logo: logos , commando: commandos

 

Nouns ending in -y, preceded by a consonant, form their plural by changing -y into -i and adding -es

baby: babies , lady: ladies , city: cities

 

The following nouns ending in -f or -fe form their plural by changing -f/fe into v and adding -es,

thief: thieves , wife: wives , wolf: wolves , life: lives

 

The nouns dwarf, hoof, scarf and wharf take either -s or -ves in the plural.

dwarfs or dwarves;

hoofs or hooves;

 

Other words ending in -f or -fe add -s

chief: chiefs , safe: safes , proof: proofs

 

A few nouns form their plural by changing the inside vowel of the singular

man: men , woman: women , foot: feet , mouse: mice

 

There are a few nouns that form their plural by adding -en to the singular

ox: oxen , child: children.

 

Some nouns have the singular and the plural alike

Swine, sheep, deer, aircraft, spacecraft, series, species

 

Some nouns are used only in the plural.

scissors, tongs, pincers, spectacles, trousers, drawers, jeans, alms, annals

 

 

Some nouns look plural but are in fact singular

mathematics, physics, news ,measles

 

 

A Compound Noun generally forms its plural by adding -s to the principal word

Commander-in-chief : Commanders-in-chief

Son-in-Law : Sons-in-law

 

Collective nouns denote a group of people, objects, ideas, or animals as a single concept. Though the collective noun refers to more than one in a group, the noun itself is considered a single thing.
