Rules for Forming Plural Nouns

Form most plurals by adding 's' to the singular noun.

    book = books

If the singular noun ends in s, ss, sh, ch, or x, add 'es' to form a plural noun.

     tax = taxes

If the noun ends in y preceded by a consonant, change the 'y' to 'i' then add 'es.'

    pony = ponies

Some nouns are formed irregularly.

    mouse = mice      child = children

    foot = feet           ox = oxen

Can you write the correct plural form for the nouns?
