Example

For words that ends with 's', 'sh', 'ch', 'x', 'o' use 'es' to make the plural form of it.

Example

For words that ends with 'y' we have to follw two rules :

If the letter before 'y' is a vowel then simply add 's' at the end to make it to the plural form.

Example

If the letter before 'y' is not a vowel then remove 'y' and add 'ies' at the end to make it to the plural form.

Example

For words that ends with 'f ' use 'ves' instead to make the plural form of it.
