Let’s go through each question one by one and pick the correct plural noun.
---
1. Fiona has got five ______.
We’re talking about more than one skirt. The word “five” tells us we need a plural.
- A. skirt → singular (only one)
- B. skirts → correct plural (add -s to most nouns)
- C. skirtes → not a real word
✔ Correct answer:
B. skirts
---
2. I see two ______ under the table.
“Two” means we need plural.
- A. boxes → correct! For words ending in -x, we add -es
- B. boxs → wrong spelling
- C. box → singular
✔ Correct answer:
A. boxes
---
3. He is a ______.
This sentence uses “a”, which means only ONE person. So we need the singular form.
- A. childes → not a real word
- B. children → plural (more than one)
- C. child → singular → matches “a”
✔ Correct answer:
C. child
*(Note: This question is testing if you notice that “a” means singular — even though the worksheet is about plurals, this one is tricky!)*

4. The map has hundreds of ______.
“Hundreds of” means many countries → plural needed.
- A. country → singular
- B. countryes → wrong spelling
- C. countries → correct! When a word ends in consonant + y, change y to i and add -es
✔ Correct answer:
C. countries
---
5. His ______ are white.
The verb “are” tells us the subject must be plural.
- A. tooth → singular
- B. teeth → correct irregular plural of “tooth”
- C. teethe → not a real word (and “teethe” is a verb meaning baby getting teeth)
✔ Correct answer:
B. teeth
---
Final Answer:
1. B
2. A
3. C
4. C
5. B
