How to change number
Numerous RULES are there to change the number from singular to plural. They are as follows-

In general “s” is used at the end of a singular noun to make it plural
Example:

Rule 2:
If there exist s, sh, ch, x and z in the end, “es” gets to be used.
Examples:
SingularPluralBusBusesDishDishesBranchBranchesFoxFoxesFezFezes
Rule 3:
While pronunciation of ch is like “k”, just “s” is added at the end
Example:
SingularPluralMonarchMonarchsPatriarchPatriarchsMatriarchMatriarchsStomachStomachsHierarchHierarchs
Part 1: when there’s a “y” in the end and a Consonant before that “y”, “i” substitutes it and an “es” thereafter
Singular number is used when the noun refers to one item. Plural number is used when the noun refers to more than one item. Countable nouns have both singular and plural forms. Uncountable nouns and mass nouns do not normally have a plural form.
