Most plurals end in ‘s’
Just add an ‘s’
Some plurals need ‘es’
If they end like this
With an ‘sh’ here
‘Ch’ there
Here an ‘x’, there an ‘s’
Anywhere an ‘ss’
When a noun ends like this
You must need ‘es’.

II. Analysis
 Do you know children that there are 7
rules in forming the plural of singular nouns
but we will take up the 1st four rules.

Let’s go back to the activity we had. we add “s” and change “y” to “I” and
add “es”.
What did you observed?

Yes, that is correct. Those 2 you mntioned

were included in the rules. But first, we will
talk about the first rule. Add S to most singular nouns to form
the plural?
Does any of you had the idea what is the first
rule in forming singular nouns to its plural
form?

Very Good!! *Give examples

Example: book-books
Who can give other examples? *Give examples

Okay children, can you give nouns that end

with s, ss, x, ch, sh and z If singular noun ends with S, SS, X,
Ch, z add -es to form the plural
How can we make these singular nouns in
plural forms? What is the 2nd rule? city, story, library, day, toy

Can you give nouns ending in y preceded by

a consonant letter? city- cities, story - stories

How can we make these singular noun in

plural form? If a singular noun ends with a
consonant y, change y to I and add -es.

Who can give other examples? If singular noun ends with a vowel and
y add -s to form the plural.

III. Abstraction
The rules in forming plural forms of the
noun are:

1. Most regular countable nouns make

their plurals
plurals by adding -s to the singular
form.
2. nouns that end in -s, -z, -ch, -sh, and
-s add -es to the singular form.
3. Regular countable nouns make their
plurals by (1) adding
-s or -es to the singular form and (2)
 by changing final y
to i and adding -es if the singular
form ends in a consonant
+y
4. Regular nouns ending in
a vowel + y do not
change the y to i and add -es; instead,
they simply add s:l
