Plural Noun Forms
The plural form of most nouns is created simply by adding the letter ( s )

Snake …. Snakes  .  
 Cat …. Cats

Words that end in( ch, x, s , o or s )-like sounds, however, will require  (es) for the plural:

· Witch = Witches
· Box = Boxes
· Gas = Gases
· Bus = Buses

· Hero Heroes

With words that end in a consonant and  (y ) you'll need to change the y and add (ies)
·  Baby = Babies.
· Country = Countries.
This rule does not apply to proper nouns:
· boy = boys

Plurals of words that end in  ( f or fe ) usually change the f sound to ves. .
