For example-

Case one(singular to plural)

a)     A chair is made of wood.
Ans) Chairs are made of wood.

b)     An airport is a busy place.
Ans) Airports are busy places.

Case two(plural to singular)

a)    Horses are animals.

Note-No article is added before the word "milk" because it is an uncountable noun .
