Rule 2:
যদি Singular
number শব্দের শেষে s, ss, sh, x বা z থাকে এবং শেষের ch-এর উচ্চারণ চ-এর মত হয় তবে সেসব Singular number-এর শেষে es যোগ করে Plural করা হয়।
If the singular number
word has s, ss, sh, x or z at its end and the pronunciation of the “ch”
situated at the end is like “ch”, then es is added to the end of the singular
number to change it into a plural number.
