How do we change most singular nouns into plural nouns?
Most singular nouns become plural simply by adding the letter 's' at the end, like 'apple' to 'apples'.
Is 'dog' a Common Noun or a Proper Noun?
'Dog' is a Common Noun because it is a general word for the animal. If you name your dog 'Bruno', then 'Bruno' is a Proper Noun.
