Let’s go step by step to match each plural noun with the correct picture.
We are matching
irregular plural nouns — these are words that don’t just add “-s” or “-es” to become plural. They change in special ways.
Here are the options on the left:
a. calfs →
✘ Not correct (should be “calves”)
b. mice →
✔ Correct plural of “mouse”
c. childs →
✘ Not correct (should be “children”)
d. knives →
✔ Correct plural of “knife”
e. leaves →
✔ Correct plural of “leaf”
f. potatoes →
✔ Correct plural of “potato”
g. potatos →
✘ Not correct (should be “potatoes”)
h. meese →
✘ Not correct (should be “mice”)
i. children →
✔ Correct plural of “child”
j. knifes →
✘ Not correct (should be “knives”)
k. calves →
✔ Correct plural of “calf”
l. leafs →
✘ Not correct (should be “leaves”)
Now, let’s look at the pictures and match them:
Picture 1: Two baby cows → That’s “calves” → matches
k
Picture 2: Four kitchen knives → That’s “knives” → matches
d
Picture 3: Two mice → That’s “mice” → matches
b
Picture 4: Three kids playing → That’s “children” → matches
i
Picture 5: A bunch of green leaves → That’s “leaves” → matches
e
Picture 6: Three potatoes → That’s “potatoes” → matches
f
So now we fill in the blanks:
1. k (calves)
2. d (knives)
3. b (mice)
4. i (children)
5. e (leaves)
6. f (potatoes)
Final Answer:
1. k
2. d
3. b
4. i
5. e
6. f
