Nouns often have special plural forms to indicate more than one. Plurals are usually formed by adding -s or -es, but some change in other ways, such as "child - children". Nouns ending in y, fe, o, x or ch usually add -s or -es to form the plural. Some nouns like "fish" and "deer" remain the same in plural, while others like "person" and "child" have irregular plurals. Nouns ending in f or fe take -ves in the plural, like "knife - knives".
