Card 1Singular Nouns

What is a singular noun?

Answer

A singular noun stands for one person, animal, place, or thing. For example: 'cat', 'book', 'tree'. We use singular nouns when talking about just one of something.

Card 2Plural Nouns

What is a plural noun?

Answer

A plural noun stands for more than one person, animal, place, or thing. For example: 'cats', 'books', 'trees'. We use plural nouns when talking about two or more of something.

Card 3Singular and Plural Forms

Give two examples of singular nouns and their plural forms.

Answer

1. Pen → Pens 2. Dog → Dogs We add -s to most nouns to make them plural.

Card 4Plural Formation Rules

How do we usually form the plural of a noun?

Answer

We usually add -s to the end of a singular noun to make it plural. For example: ball → balls, tree → trees, book → books.

Card 5Plural with -es

Which nouns form their plural by adding -es instead of -s?

Answer

Nouns ending in s, ss, sh, ch, or x form their plural by adding -es. For example: bus → buses, brush → brushes, box → boxes.

Card 6Plural with -es

Why do we say 'buses' and not 'buss'?

Answer

Because 'bus' ends with the 's' sound. When a noun ends in s, ss, sh, ch, or x, we add -es to make it plural. So, 'bus' becomes 'buses'.

Card 7Plural of Nouns Ending in O

Which nouns ending in 'o' take -es in the plural?

Answer

Some nouns ending in 'o' take -es: buffalo → buffaloes, hero → heroes, potato → potatoes, mosquito → mosquitoes.

Card 8Exceptions in Plural Formation

Are all nouns ending in 'o' made plural with -es?

Answer

No. Some nouns ending in 'o' just add -s. For example: photo → photos, piano → pianos, radio → radios.
