Making Plurals

A singular noun can be made into a plural noun. A singular noun names just one person, place, or thing. A plural noun names more than one. Often a singular noun is changed to a plural name simply by adding an s onto the end of it. 


	SINGULAR NOUN			PLURAL NOUN
	  cat				  cats
	  dog				  dogs
	  barn				  barns
	  chair				  chairs
	  plate				  plates
	  light				  lights
	  planet			  planets
	  plant				  plants
	  chicken			  chickens
	  check				  checks
The rule for words like this is: 

	JUST ADD -S
None of the words that are pluralized by just adding -s end with ch or sh for instance.
