how would i change fronm is to are

how would I change from is to are.if I say like apples instead of I like apple.using map to the map the foods in aiml.

here is my aiml script respond,question and learn.txt

Not sure I understand. To change "is" to "are" change the "is" in the pattern to "are", or add a new pattern with "are".

if the person says I like apples.i would want the response to be what are apples?if the person says I like apple.i would want the response to be what is apple?

how would I use either is for a singular noun or are for a plural noun in the template?

You cannot do that in AIML, but you could in a Self tag.
Something like:

<category>
<pattern>i like *</pattern>
<template>what <self>if (star.endsWith("s")) { "are"; } else { "is"; }</self> <star/>.
</template>

If your bot has Wiktionary enabled, you could also do more advanced things checking the word's #cardinality.

Note that "I like apple" is not valid grammar. "I like apples" would be correct.
For a singular you would use "I like the apple", in which case you can check for "the" in a pattern.
Trying to parse English or natural language in general is very advanced, there is an example in the Understanding Self script.
But you would need to understand programming for this.

sometimes people do not use good English.They may type it that way or do that on purpose to test how advanced the chatbot is.

there is a error on this blog page when you first enter it.I enter the blog page from somewhere else and it worked.that needs to be fixed.

what if it asked what type of fruit juice do you like?you could say for a response I like apple.wouldn't that confuse it if i did not use a code like the aiml code you posted?

I suppose the grammar would be correct in that instance.
So you could check for plural.

how would i change fronm is to are
