The correct spelling of plural nouns usually depends on what letter the singular noun ends in.

Basic Regular Plural Noun Rules!

If a noun ends in

S, SS, X, Z, Ch, Or SH

you need to add –es at the end of the root word.

Let’s practice!

More than one church ⛪️: churches

More than one dish 🍝 : dishes

More than one bus 🚌 : buses

More than one kiss 💋 : kisses

More than one fox 🦊 : foxes

More than one buzz 🐝 : buzzes (bee sound)

In some cases, singular nouns ending in -s or -z, require that you double the -s or -z before adding the -es for pluralization.

More than one fez: fezzes

More than one gas: gasses
