Step-by-step solution for: 6th Grade English worksheets - Edform
I'll solve this singular and plural worksheet by filling in the correct form of each word in parentheses. Let me go through each question one by one.
1. Mrs. Jones has two naughty ___ (child)
- Since "two" indicates plural, I need the plural form of "child", which is "children".
2. A flock of wild ___ just flew noisily overhead. (goose)
- "Flock" suggests multiple birds, so I need the plural of "goose", which is "geese".
3. Three tiny ___ scurried quickly through the kitchen. (mouse)
- "Three" indicates plural, so I need the plural of "mouse", which is "mice".
4. Mother cut the cheese sandwich into two ___. (half)
- "Two" indicates plural, so I need the plural of "half", which is "halves".
5. The dental hygienist cleaned my ___. (tooth)
- This refers to all teeth in the mouth, so I need the plural of "tooth", which is "teeth".
6. The old ___ at the bus stop had striped umbrellas. (woman)
- "The old" suggests a single person, but since it's about someone having umbrellas (plural), it might be multiple women. However, typically we'd say "women" for plural. Let me check the context - "had striped umbrellas" could be one woman with multiple umbrellas or multiple women. Given the pattern, I think it's likely "women" (plural).
7. Grandpa carefully sharpened the ___ in the kitchen. (knife)
- "The" suggests a specific set, and since he's sharpening them, it's likely multiple knives, so "knives".
8. Those ___ were shouting angrily at the players. (person)
- "Those" and "were" indicate plural, so I need the plural of "person", which is "people".
9. Mandla bought two ___ of seed bread. (loaf)
- "Two" indicates plural, so I need the plural of "loaf", which is "loaves".
10. The busy ___ were fixing the large hole in the street. (man)
- "Were" indicates plural, so I need the plural of "man", which is "men".
11. I heard a pack of ___ howling loudly in the forest. (wolf)
- "Pack" suggests multiple wolves, so I need the plural of "wolf", which is "wolves".
12. The farmer's ___ walked slowly into the field. (sheep)
- "Sheep" is the same in singular and plural form.
13. The young ___ peel the ___. (lady, potato)
- "The young" suggests multiple ladies, so "ladies". For "potato", since they're peeling them, likely multiple potatoes, so "potatoes".
14. The caterpillars suddenly turned into stunning ___. (butterfly)
- Multiple caterpillars turning into butterflies, so "butterflies".
15. There were high ___ and beautiful ___. (cliff, valley)
- "There were" indicates plural for both, so "cliffs" and "valleys".
16. The ___ have four ___. (buffalo, foot)
- "Have" suggests plural subject, so "buffaloes" or "buffalos" (both are acceptable, but "buffaloes" is more traditional). For "foot", since each buffalo has four feet, it's "feet".
17. The rotten ___ stole the bright red ___. (thief, cherry)
- "Stole" suggests a single thief (unless specified otherwise), so "thief". For "cherry", since it's "the bright red" (singular article), it's likely one cherry, so "cherry". But "stole the bright red cherry" sounds odd if it's just one. Let me reconsider - "rotten" might modify "thieves" (plural) stealing multiple cherries. Given the context, I think it's "thieves" and "cherries".
18. Those ___ had to do many ___. (boy, quiz)
- "Those" and "had" indicate plural, so "boys". "Many" indicates plural for "quiz", so "quizzes".
19. The ___ played happily among the ___. (fox, cactus)
- "Played" suggests plural subject, so "foxes". For "cactus", since they're playing among them, likely multiple, so "cacti" or "cactuses" (both are acceptable, but "cacti" is more common).
20. The ___ had fun at the spring ___. (elf, party)
- "Had" suggests plural subject, so "elves". For "party", since it's "the spring" (singular article), it's likely one party, so "party".
Now, let me compile the answers:
1. children
2. geese
3. mice
4. halves
5. teeth
6. women
7. knives
8. people
9. loaves
10. men
11. wolves
12. sheep
13. ladies, potatoes
14. butterflies
15. cliffs, valleys
16. buffaloes, feet
17. thieves, cherries
18. boys, quizzes
19. foxes, cacti
20. elves, party
