Explanation:

- Regular Plurals: Most nouns form their plural by adding "-s" (e.g., "pony" → "ponies").
- Y Rule: If a noun ends in "y" and is preceded by a consonant, change "y" to "i" and add "-es" (e.g., "berry" → "berries").
- Irregular Plurals: Some nouns have irregular plural forms (e.g., "sky" → "skies").
- Special Cases: Words ending in "ary," "ery," "ory," or "ury" often add "-ies" (e.g., "dictionary" → "dictionaries").
