The word "boat" is a singular noun and the word "boats" is the plural version of "boat". We know it is the plural verson because it refers to more than one boat.
You add -s to any noun that ends in a normal consonant. For example, insect, insects , rocket,rokets. For any noun that ends in a ch,sh,x,e,s,or z you add -es. For example, couch,couches,dish,dishes,bounce,bounces,fox,foxes,bus,buses. When a noun ends in voul y you just add s.Like in toys. If a noun ends in consonant and y you take away the y and add ies. For example, bully, bullies, hobby, hobbies. When you have nouns that end in -fe you change the f to v. For example, wives,knives,leaves.
Collective nouns are nouns that discribe a large group of one kind of noun. For example, a schoool of fish, a herd of cows, or a flock of birds.
Collective nouns don't usually go by a pattern,so you can't just assome that a moose is to meese because goose is to geese. Each one is unique.For that reason collective nouns can bu tricky.
Irregular nouns are nouns that don't follow any -s, -es,or-ies rules. These are still sort of a kind plural noun because by using these forms of the singular noun you are refering to mare than one noun.For example, Fish stays as fish when plural.
