It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Understanding Singular Nouns and Plural Nouns". The task is to identify whether the given nouns are singular or plural, and if they're plural, write the corresponding singular form.
Let's go through the worksheet step by step and solve it:
---
Instructions Recap:
-
Singular nouns refer to one person, place, thing, or idea.
-
Plural nouns refer to more than one.
- If the noun is
plural, change it to
singular by removing "s" or "es" at the end (or applying other rules).
- If the noun is already
singular, just write it as is.

Part 1: Examples
The worksheet gives examples:
-
apple → singular
-
cat → singular
-
book → singular
Then:
-
apples → plural → singular form:
apple
-
cats → plural → singular form:
cat
-
books → plural → singular form:
book
This shows the pattern: remove "s" or "es" to get the singular form.

📝 Explanation:
- Words ending in
-s,
-es, or
-ies are usually plural.
- To make them singular, remove the plural ending:
- *dogs* → *dog*
- *bottles* → *bottle*
- *ladies* → *lady* (note: “ies” becomes “y”)
- Some words like
school and
dog are already singular.
- "Beens" is likely a misspelling of
beans; correct singular is
bean.
