Nouns ending in s, z, ch, sh, and x Nouns with these letters at the end call for an "es" in the plural form. This added syllable makes pronunciation easier. Nouns ending in o Some nouns ending in o are pluralized with an "s," while others call for "es." These words must be memorized, because there is no simple rule to explain the differences. Nouns ending in y To form the plural of nouns ending in y, drop the y and add "ies." Irregular plural forms There are several other irregularities in the plural forms of English nouns. Here are examples: Man becomes men Woman becomes women Fungus becomes fungi Thief becomes thieves (note that not all words ending in "f" follow this patttern: roof/roofs) Species remains species Medium becomes media Person becomes people
