Countables and uncountable nouns
1.- Countable nouns are nouns that can be counted, so they can be used in the singular and plural forms.
To form the plural they add an -S as a general rule, but there are some exceptions:
a.- Nouns ending in “-S, -SS, -SH, -CH, -X take “-ES”.
b.- Nouns ending in “-O”, add “-ES” , but “radio – piano – photo – video”, add “-S”.
c.- Nouns ending in a “consonant+Y” ”IES.”
