Singular & Plural Nouns Worksheet | PDF | Plural | Syntactic ... - Free Printable

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to convert each singular noun into its plural form.

We'll go through the list, applying standard English pluralization rules:

General Rules for Plural Nouns:

1. Most nouns: Add -s
→ *book → books*
2. Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z: Add -es
→ *brush → brushes*, *box → boxes*
3. Nouns ending in -y (preceded by consonant): Change -y → -ies
→ *city → cities*
But if preceded by a vowel: just add -s → *day → days*
4. Nouns ending in -f or -fe: Often change to -ves
→ *leaf → leaves*, *knife → knives*
5. Irregular plurals: These don't follow rules (e.g., *child → children*, *mouse → mice*)
6. Some nouns are the same in singular and plural (e.g., *sheep*, *deer*)
