The task involves understanding two types of plural forms in English. The first part (A) involves simple pluralization where most words form their plurals by adding an 's' or 'es.' The second part (B) matches words with irregular plurals that do not follow a consistent rule and often involve a vowel change or other modifications.
In the first section, the student is asked to change singular nouns into their plural forms typically by adding 's' or 'es.' The second section requires matching singular nouns to their irregular plural forms, which involve different transformations. Understanding these rules is crucial for mastering English plurals.
