Some words, or phrases, also indicate the need for a plural word to follow, e.g.

some, many, few, a lot of, a number of, several, plenty of, any, a couple of, most

The plural form in English is mostly quite easy. Words either have "s" or " es " added to the singular form, e.g.

book - books, dog - dogs, box - boxes, dress - dresses, glass - glasses

But some words have there own plural form, e.g.

foot - feet, child - children, knife - knives, mouse - mice

Others stay the same, or are plural words in their own right, e.g.

sheep, pyjamas, trousers, scissors,
