Explanation:

Plural:  Plural indicates that it is more than one.

Nouns which are singular are made into plural by simply adding ' -s' or '-es ' at the end . Also, instead of 'a' the noun starts with 'the' in the plural form.

There are many rules for changing singular form in to plural depending up on the ending letter of of the noun. They are

• Usually, regular nouns are made in to plural by adding -s at the end.
• If the noun ends in -s,-ss,-sh, -x, -z, then we add -es to the end. Eg: marsh- marshes, bus - buses, tax - taxes, lunch- lunches ,etc.
• If  the noun ends with -y and the letter before -y is a consonant, then add -ies to the end. Eg: city-cities, puppy-puppies.
• If  nouns end with -y and the letter before -y is a vowel,  we simply add -s  at the end of the word. Eg: boy-boys, ray-rays.
• If nouns end in -us, the plural form end with -i, and if noun ends in -is , the plural form  ends in -es. Eg: focus-foci, analysis-analyses.
• If nouns ends in -on the plural will be -a. Eg: criyerion- criteria.
• Some nouns have only plural form. Eg: certain tools, instruments, and some clothing with two parts.
• Some nouns are always plural in form and some do not change at all when made plural.

Irregular nouns do not follow these rules.

1. The dogs are animals.
2. The eyes have lids.
3. The roses are red.
4. The soldiers are brave.
5. The ornaments are made of gold.
6. The swords are made of steel.
