    The document discusses how to form plurals of nouns in English. Most nouns form the plural by adding -s, but some add -es if they end in certain letters like s, x, or ch. Nouns ending in y change to ies, those ending in f or fe change to ves, and those ending in o can change to either es or s. Some nouns stay the same in plural form, and others become entirely new words. Examples are provided to illustrate each rule.
