    There are 6 rules for changing nouns from singular to plural in English. Most nouns become plural by adding "s", while nouns ending in "ch", "sh", or "x" add "es". Nouns ending in "f" or "fe" often become plural by changing to "ves". Some nouns require changing the inside spelling when made plural, and nouns ending in a consonant and "y" drop the "y" and add "ies". However, some nouns remain unchanged in both singular and plural forms.
