    This document discusses rules for forming plural nouns in English. It explains that most nouns form the plural by adding -s. However, there are special rules for nouns ending in ch, sh, s, x or consonant y which add -es. Nouns ending in f or fe drop the f/fe and add -ves. Nouns ending in a vowel sound y just add -s. It also lists several irregular plural nouns like man/men and mouse/mice. An exercise is provided to practice changing singular nouns to their plural forms.
