    The plural of nouns

    - Most nouns form the plural by adding s or es. E.g.: boat- boats
    - Nouns that end in -s -ss -sh -ch -x add -es. E.g.: bus- buses
    - A noun ending in y preceded by a consonant makes the plural with ies.
    E.g.: a cry cries
    - But if the noun ends in a vowel + -y the -y does not change.
    - Many nouns that end in -f, in the plural change the f to v and then add
    -es.
    - Some nouns have the same form in the singular and the plural.
    Eg: sheep sheep
    Fish fish
    Species- species
    Aircraft- aircraft
    Deer deer
