Concept- We need to check the suffix first. It is very important to check the suffix as there should be no grammatical error. We always need to keep the punctuation in mind and think accordingly for the answer.
Firstly, let's understand the nature of the word “Perez”. We can say this word “Perez” to be a proper noun as it is a last name. There are certain rules we need to follow while making a word plural. As it is a proper noun , we need to find certain things to make it plural.
It is very important to know the purpose of the question .Since it doesn't indicate a purpose,we can put it into a simple plural.
It is very important to understand the difference between singular and plural noun. A Singular noun tells us about one single thing, person, or place while a plural noun tells us about multiple things, person, or place. We can simply convert a singular noun into a plural noun by adding ‘-s’ or ‘-es’ at the end of the word.
For example, the word ‘cup’ implies only one single cup . It can be made plural by just adding ‘-s’ to the word i.e., ‘cups’. On the other hand ,the noun ‘batch’ implies only one batch. It can be made plural by just adding ‘-es’ i.e., ‘batches’.
However , there are some words that remain the same in their singular and plural form like ‘sheep’ and ‘moose’. The noun ‘Perez’ can be taken to be a regular noun ,ending in ‘z’.The rule that is used for ‘s’ is that a suffix of ‘es’ is added to make it plural.This same rule is applied to ch, sh, s, x, and z.
Hence, the correct answer is Perezes.
