It explains that nouns can be singular or plural, and outlines several rules for making nouns plural: adding 's', 'es', or 'ies' depending on whether the singular form ends in s, sh, ch, x or y. It also notes that some nouns have irregular plural forms like 'child/children' and 'man/men'. Examples are given to demonstrate applying these rules to change singular nouns to their plural forms.
