Have you ever gotten tangled up in the web of plural nouns? Fear not, word warriors! This guide will transform you from a pluralization rookie into a party pro, ready to celebrate any noun in its plural form. The Most Popular Party Guests: Adding -s and -es Most nouns in English love a good "-s" party. Just add it to the end of the singular form, and you've got a plural ready to mingle! Beach -> Beaches (Sunbathing fun for all! ) Taco -> Tacos (Fiesta time! ) Joke -> Jokes (Laughter guaranteed with these plural pals) However, a few noun groups have their own way of doing things: Nouns ending in s, sh, ch, x, or z: These prefer the "-es" to join the party.

Example: Baby -> Babies
