Let’s go through each word one by one and make it plural.
Remember the rules:
- Most words: just add
s (like map → maps)
- Words ending in
s, x, z, ch, sh: add
es (like dish → dishes)
- Words ending in a consonant + y: change y to i and add es (but none of these have that!)
- Some words are tricky, but we’ll handle them as we go.
Now let’s solve:
1. map → maps
2. block → blocks
3. spoon → spoons
4. dish → dishes (ends in “sh” → add “es”)
5. class → classes (ends in “ss” → add “es”)
6. orange → oranges
7. truck → trucks
8. car → cars
9. spoon → spoons (same as #3)
10. box → boxes (ends in “x” → add “es”)
11. pot → pots
12. fox → foxes (ends in “x” → add “es”)
13. bus → buses (ends in “s” → add “es”)
14. door → doors
15. lunch → lunches (ends in “ch” → add “es”)
16. sink → sinks
17. dress → dresses (ends in “ss” → add “es”)
18. store → stores
19. truck → trucks (same as #7)
20. paper → papers
Double-checking:
- All words ending in s, x, ch, sh got “es” — correct.
- Others just got “s” — correct.
- No weird exceptions here — all follow basic rules.
Final Answer:
1. maps
2. blocks
3. spoons
4. dishes
5. classes
6. oranges
7. trucks
8. cars
9. spoons
10. boxes
