pluralization

Pluralization refers to the grammatical process of changing a word to indicate that there is more than one of something. In English, this typically involves adding an "s" or "es" to the noun (e.g., "cat" becomes "cats" and "box" becomes "boxes"). Some nouns have irregular plural forms (e.g., "child" becomes "children"). Pluralization helps clarify communication by specifying quantities and distinguishing between singular and multiple entities. It's a fundamental aspect of language that allows effective discussion about groups, collections, or sets. Understanding plural forms is essential for proper grammar usage in both spoken and written language.
