Note
The plural is regular, but it counts only half of what transition can mean. The word is both countable and uncountable: change as a condition takes no plural, while transitions picks out separate events, such as cuts between film scenes, connecting words, changes of key in music, a geneticist's base swaps, or a team turning from defense to attack. Use the plural when the changes can be counted, and the singular for change as a process.
