    This document discusses rules for making words plural in English. It provides examples of words ending in consonant-letter combinations that add -es to form the plural (e.g. buffalo-buffaloes). It also lists words ending in -s, -x, -ch, -sh that only add -s to form the plural (e.g. house-houses). Finally, it discusses words ending in vowel-consonant combinations that typically add -s, with some exceptions that add -es or undergo other changes to form the plural (e.g. knife-knives, leaf-leaves, life-lives).
