Plural Noun Definition: When a noun means more than one, it is said to be plural. Examples: boys, girls, books, churches
Rule #1The plural of nouns is usually formed by adding - s to a singular noun.
| lamp | lamps |
| cat | cats |
| fork | forks |
| flower | flowers |
| pen | pens |
Exercise: Write the plural of each of these nouns
| chair | star | farm |
| storm | door | rock |

Rule #2
Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch form the plural by adding - es.
| moss | mosses |
| buzz | buzzes |
| box | boxes |
| dish | dishes |
| church | churches |
Exercise: Write the plural of each of these nouns
| dress | brush | hex |
| wish | class | fox |
| cross | bench | bush |

Special Note:If you add - s to such nouns as fox, bush, and bench, you will find that you cannot pronounce them without making an additional syllable. This is why such nouns form the plural by adding - es.
