Explanation:
-
Singular to Plural: Most singular nouns become plural by simply adding an
"s" (e.g., "car" → "cars").
-
Plural to Singular: Most plural nouns become singular by removing the
"s" (e.g., "plants" → "plant").
-
Uncountable Nouns: Some nouns, like "hair," are uncountable and do not have a plural form. They remain the same.
