Review:

• What was our previous

discussion in Language?

• What are the two types of

noun?
Activity Time!

• The activity will be called

“Answer me with an –S”. The
teacher will divide the class
into four groups. Each group
will be tasked to give 4 words
which ends with –s.
• The first group will give one
word first then the second group
must respond immediately to the
group with their answer within
five seconds and so as with the
group 3 and group 4, until, all the
groups can recite 4 words.
• What have you observed with
your answers?
• Are all these words have the
same meaning? If we will
eliminate the letter –s ini every
word, will the meaning of each
word changes?
Plural form of regular nouns
Forming the plural of nouns
1. When nouns end in –y, we change
–y to –i then add –es.
Singular Plural
cherry cherries
pony ponies
bakery bakeries
However, when the –y comes after
a vowel, we pluralize the noun by
adding –s.

Singular Plural
turkey turkeys
toy toys
day days
2. Form the plural of nouns ending
in-o after a consonant by adding
–es.

Singular Plural
potato potatoes
tomato tomatoes
hero heroes
Sometimes, we simply add –s even
when the vowel –o comes after a
consonant.

Singular Plural
buffalo buffalos
studio studios
piano pianos
3. Some nouns ending in –f or –fe
are pluralized by changing –f or –fe
to –v, then adding –es.

Singular Plural
knife Knives
shelf shelves
half halves
Other nouns that end in –f or –fe
just need an –s to be plural.

Singular Plural
handkerchief handkerchiefs
hoof hoofs
spoof spoofs
4. Some nouns that end in –i are
pluralized by adding –s or –es.

Singular Plural
ski skis
alibi alibis
chili chilies
5. Some nouns are always plural in
nature.

Singular Plural

tweezers tweezers
pants pants
6. Some plurals are spelled the
same way as their singular form.
