    The document discusses rules for forming plural nouns in English. Most nouns are made plural by adding 's', but there are exceptions. Nouns ending in ch, x, s, or s sounds add 'es', while those ending in f or fe change the f to v and add 'es'. Some nouns have entirely different plural forms. Nouns ending in vowels like y or o can follow different patterns. A few nouns are identical in both singular and plural forms.
