Year 3 English worksheet on singular and plural nouns with animal illustrations.

Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to write the plural form of each singular noun listed.

Here’s how we approach it:

General Rules for Plural Nouns:

1. Most nouns add -s to make the plural.
2. Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z usually add -es.
3. Nouns ending in -y (after a consonant) change -y to -ies.
4. Some nouns have irregular plurals (e.g., *child → children*, *tooth → teeth*).
5. Some animals and words like *sheep* have the same singular and plural forms.

Now, let’s go through each one:

1. cow → cows
(Add -s)

2. goat → goats
(Add -s)

3. potato → potatoes
(Ends in -o, but many -o words take -es; "potato" is one of them)

4. sheep → sheep
(Irregular: same in singular and plural)

5. chicken → chickens
(Add -s)

6. watch → watches
(Ends in -ch → add -es)

7. horse → horses
(Add -es because it ends in -s)

8. child → children
(Irregular: not "childs", but "children")

9. goose → geese
(Irregular: "goose" becomes "geese")

10. tooth → teeth
(Irregular: "tooth" becomes "teeth")
