Step-by-step solution for: Plural Nouns online exercise for 3rd grade
Let's solve the Plural Nouns Worksheet step by step, following the rules provided:
---
1. Add -s to most nouns:
→ *apple → apples*, *blanket → blankets*, *phone → phones*
2. Add -es when a noun ends in s, ch, sh, or x:
→ *class → classes*, *switch → switches*, *watch → watches*
3. Some irregular nouns may have special plural forms (e.g., *child → children*), but this worksheet mostly follows regular patterns.

---
1. street → streets
*(ends in 't', so just add -s)*
