Nouns Galore
We have been learning all about identifying singular and plural nouns. What does singular and plural mean? You may hear a familiar word in the word singular. I hear single.
singular = one
plural = more than one
Usually we simply add a s to the end of a word to make it plural. However, some nouns are exceptions, or words that don't follow this rule.
Here is an example of a sentence using a plural noun.
Jacob had 3 boxes of delicious golden apples to share with his class.
What noun follows the simple rule of adding a s?
apples
What plural noun is an exception to the rule?
The plural noun is boxes.
Since the word box ends in with a x to make it plural you must add es.
There
are also nouns that change completely to new words when made plural.
These are called irregular nouns. That is because they are certainly not
regular.

Dear Zoe,
ReplyDeleteI would like to ask you some questions to learn more about you.
Do you have any brothers or sisters? I have one brother and one sister.
Do you want foxes or dogs for your pets, or do you have one of them as a pet already?
Do you have any electronic devices like Ipads, computers, or phones? I love my Ipad.
Would you like to go to Disneyland with your family and friends? That's one of my wishes for summer.
What do you think is the most common plural noun?
From your plural noun genius,
Ben
Dear Ben,
DeleteThank you for asking me questions. My responses to your blog post will use a lot of details. I have one sister but no brothers. I have a dog as a pet already. I have one iPod touch. My family shares two computers and one iPad. My iPod has a camera that flashes and has pictures of many beaches. As you can see, I like using my iPod when I can. I would like to go to Disneyland with my family and friends. Disneyland would require packing clothes and utilities in boxes. At Disneyland I would see many mice including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. I think the most common plural noun is dogs because many people own dogs. What is the main idea of my post?
From one of your plural noun friends,

Dear Zoe
ReplyDeleteI think the main idea of your post was to share some facts about yourself and your family. I also liked learning about your electronic devices. When you do visit Disneyland, I would like you to see mouses and ducks.
I have another question for you -- what is your favorite plural noun?
from one of your plural noun buddies,
