    A noun can be singular or plural to refer to one or more than one person, place, thing or animal. A singular noun becomes plural by adding 's', 'es', changing the word entirely or sometimes remaining the same. Some common ways to make nouns plural include adding 's' or 'es', changing the ending to 'ies' or 'ves' and sometimes changing an internal vowel. Some nouns are always plural or stay the same in both singular and plural form.
