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 → so we need the plural form.
- “skirt” is singular → not right for “five”
- “skirts” is correct plural (just add -s)
- “skirtes” is not a real word
✔ Correct answer:
B. skirts
---
2. I see two ______ under the table.
Two things → need plural.
- “boxes” → correct! Words ending in -x usually add -es to make plural
- “boxs” → wrong spelling
- “box” → singular, doesn’t match “two”
✔ Correct answer:
A. boxes
---
3. He is a ______.
This sentence uses “a”, which means only ONE person → so we need the singular form.
- “childes” → not a real word
- “children” → that’s plural (more than one child)
- “child” → singular → matches “a”
✔ Correct answer:
C. child
*(Note: Even though this worksheet is about plural nouns, this question tests if you know when NOT to use plural — because of “a”)*

4. The map has hundreds of ______.
“Hundreds of” means many → so we need plural.
- “country” → singular → no
- “countryes” → not correct spelling
- “countries” → yes! For words ending in -y after a consonant, change y to i and add -es
✔ Correct answer:
C. countries
---
5. His ______ are white.
The verb “are” tells us it’s plural → so we need the plural of “tooth”.
- “tooth” → singular → doesn’t match “are”
- “teeth” → correct irregular plural
- “teethes” → not a real word
✔ Correct answer:
B. teeth
---
Final Answer:
1. B
2. A
3. C
4. C
5. B
