TO MAKE REGULAR NOUNS PLURAL, ADD ‑S TO THE END.

pen – pens
book - books

 If the singular noun ends in ‑s, -ss,
-sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add ‑es to the end
truss – trusses

In some cases, singular nouns ending in -s or -z, require that you double
the -s or -z prior to adding the -es
fez – fezzes
gas –gasses
(note that gases is also an acceptable, and more commonly used, spelling of this plural noun)

 If the noun ends with ‑f or ‑fe,
the f is changed to ‑ve before adding the -s

roof – roofs belief – beliefs

If a singular noun ends in ‑y and the letter before the -y is a consonant, change the ending to ‑ies
