Name<br />

Add the letter s to most words to make them plural. Add -es to<br />

words that end in s, x, z, ch, or sh to form plurals. For example,<br />

bunch becomes bunches. When a word ends in the letter y and<br />

has a consonant before the y, change the y to i and then add -es.<br />

For example, the plural form of bunny is bunnies.<br />
