Hi, HumMED! Yes. Fox is a singular noun, so the plural is foxes. Because, to make singular nouns ending with x, ch or sh into plural, we add es. Best wishes!
fox is one (1) singular foxes is two (2) or more - plural
foxes- as we add es - and why - try saying fox and s - very difficult - so adding es helps with the flow of the pronunciation - this happens alot in English as English is a mix of many languages - Latin, French , German , Danish and Greek . If you would like help with pronunciation - message me

It’s very common to make mistakes when you start learning English. What’s the most common mistake (grammatical, speaking, etc) that you have seen with beginner students? How did you correct them?

I think beginners of any language translate every word or sentence in their minds. This translation method takes long time to learn any language. They should focus on rather core skills of language; ie. reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.
