make them plural (e.g., bee becomes bees). For some nouns that already end with an S, you may need
to add -es to the end to make their plural forms (e.g., classes and buses). Some singular nouns also
change spelling when made plural (e.g. countries and babies).

taste, or smell something, it uses a concrete noun.

Table, apple, rabbit, ear
