📝 Explanation:
- Most nouns simply take an
s at the end to become plural.
- Nouns ending in
sh, ch, x, z, s require
es because adding just
s would be hard to pronounce or confusing. This rule helps maintain clarity in pronunciation.
- Examples: *dish → dishes*, *box → boxes*, *bus → buses*
This is a foundational grammar concept taught in early education to help students understand how to change singular nouns into their plural forms correctly.
