Plurals










Note:  Despite the claim that they have the same plural form, 
milk and food don't have plural forms because they are non-count nouns



Plural means you can count more than one.  Most English nouns become plural by adding s or es.

One coat -- 2+ coats
One student -- 2+ students

If the original ends in a consonant that sounds like an s -- ss or x or sh or ch, we add "es" rather than just s.

One tax --2+ taxes
One coach -- 2+ coaches
One watch -- 2+ watches
One hairbrush -- 2+ hairbrushes
One kiss--2+ kisses
