I like how the accepted answer pretty much declares "all pluralisation in English works by adding 's' or 'es'," completely missing out on other completely normal words, like "a basket full of fish[1]"...
1. 'Fishes' can also be valid in tht circumstance - http://australianmuseum.net.au/fish-and-fishes http://australianmuseum.net.au/fish-and-fishes - but 'fish' is still a correct English plural.
- lotsofcows 14y ago"Fish" is not the correct English plural as a cursory examination of any English Bible written in the last 600 years will prove. Other discussions on this site lead to the following addendum: When using the word "English" I mean English as spoken by the English in England. Not the USAian dialect.

You didn't even check! :)
