Plural Nouns and Their Forms

In this video, Mrs. Sullivan explains the five ways to form plural nouns: adding 's', adding 'es', changing 'y' to 'i' and adding 'es', changing the entire word, and using the same word for both singular and plural. The video covers both regular and irregular plurals, providing examples for each type. Regular plurals are formed by simply adding 's' or 'es', while irregular plurals may involve changing the word entirely or using the same word for both forms. The video aims to help learners understand and identify different plural forms in writing.
