    The document discusses rules for forming plural nouns in English. It explains that most nouns form the plural by adding -s, but nouns ending in ch, x, s, or sounds add -es. Nouns ending in f or fe change the f to v and add -es. Some nouns have irregular plural forms, such as "child-children". Nouns ending in vowels like y or o do not always follow these rules. Finally, some nouns are the same in both singular and plural forms, like "sheep". The document provides examples to illustrate each rule.
