Do you know everything about the plural?
In English, the plural is made by adding an s or es to the noun.
es is added instead of 's' when the word ends in one of the letters:
O    mango    = mangoes      
x     fox   = foxes
ch   match   = matches
sh   brush = brushes
s     dress   = dresses
   even the 's' of the present simple can not be added to the verbs ending in these letters
Do = does
wash = washes
fix = fixes
bless = blesses ( as a verb & as a noun).


But there are also other ways by which the plural can be formed. These are irregular forms:
Foot = feet
Man = men
woman = women
child = children
ox = oxen
mouse   = mice
Even though you can often 'guess' or 'predict' the plural of a word, it is best to learn the word & see if it has an irregular plural form. A good dictionary will tell you if the word has an interesting plural form ;
