Plural Nouns worksheet for learning how to form plural nouns by adding -s or -es, with examples and exercises.

Let's solve the Plural Nouns worksheet step by step.

🔹 Understanding the Task:

The goal is to add -s or -es to each singular noun to form its plural. The instructions say:

> "Add an *s* or *es* at the end of each word to form the plural."

We also have a reminder:
- Most nouns add -s
- Nouns ending in s, x, sh, ch add -es
- Some words (like those ending in f or fe) might change, but this worksheet only asks for -s or -es, so we’ll focus on that rule.

✔ Rules Recap:

1. Regular plurals: Add -s → *book → books*
2. Nouns ending in s, x, sh, ch: Add -es → *box → boxes*, *church → churches*

Now let’s go through each word:
