Lesson: Today the students learned how to make different nouns plural. Based on the ending of each noun, students can follow a list of rules to make nouns plural. I used a PowerPoint to explain each rule. Here are the rules:
- For most nouns, just add s.
- If the noun ends in a consonant and a y, change the y to an i and add es.
- If the noun ends in a vowel and a y, add s.
- If the noun ends in ch, sh, ss, or x, add es.
- If the noun ends in f or fe, change the f to an v and add es.
- If the noun ends in a vowel and an o, add s.
- If the noun ends in a consonant and an o, add es.
The students followed along on a chart on page 5 in their packet. With each new example, the students had to add the examples to their packet. Today, we completed rules 1-4.
