what are regular nouns?​

Regular nouns are nouns that form their plurals by adding "-s" or "-es". Here's a breakdown: - Adding "-s": This is the most common way to form the plural of a regular noun. Examples include: cat/cats, dog/dogs, house/houses, tree/trees.- Adding "-es": This is used when the singular noun ends in a sibilant sound (s, sh, ch, x, z, or a consonant followed by y). Examples include: bus/buses, box/boxes, church/churches, wish/wishes, city/cities. Note that the 'y' changes to 'i' before adding '-es' in words like city and baby. Essentially, if you can make the plural by simply adding an "s" or "es", it's likely a regular noun. There are irregular nouns that don't follow this rule (e.g., man/men, child/children, foot/feet), but those are the exception.
