The Rule:
* If a noun ends in "y" preceded by a consonant, change the "y" to "i" and add "es" to form the plural.
Examples:
* baby -> babies
* city -> cities
* fly -> flies
* story -> stories
* berry -> berries
* country -> countries
Exceptions:
* Proper Nouns: Proper nouns (names of people, places, etc.) often have irregular plural forms. For example, "Mary" doesn't become "Maries."
* Words ending in "y" preceded by a vowel: These words simply add "s" to form the plural. For example, "boy" becomes "boys."
