Nouns & Plurals
A noun is the name of a person, place, or thing. Most nouns become plural (more than one) by adding -s. Some common nouns change completely instead of just adding -s.
The rule
book → books (+s) · man → men (irregular)
Right and wrong
I have two books.

Add -s when there is more than one.
