What verbs ending in o add es for their plural?

You're likely thinking about nouns, not verbs, when it comes to adding "es" to the plural form. Here's why:

* Verbs: Verbs describe actions or states of being. They don't typically form plurals in English. For example, "run," "jump," and "think" remain the same regardless of how many people are performing the action.

* Nouns: Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. Many nouns ending in "o" add "es" to form their plural:

* Hero -> Heroes

* Potato -> Potatoes

* Echo -> Echoes

* Tomato -> Tomatoes

Important Note: There are some exceptions to the "o" rule:

* Nouns ending in "o" followed by a consonant add "es": (hero, potato, echo)

* Nouns ending in "o" followed by a vowel add "s": (radio, zoo, video)

* Proper nouns ending in "o" usually add "s": (soprano, piano, halo)

* Some nouns ending in "o" have irregular plural forms: (child - children, foot - feet, tooth - teeth)
