Educational worksheet for practicing singular and plural nouns with example sentences.

Let's solve each question in the "Singular and Plural Nouns" worksheet step by step. The goal is to choose the correct plural or singular form of the noun based on context and grammar rules.

---

🔹 Rule Reminder:

- A singular noun refers to one person, place, thing, or idea.
- A plural noun refers to more than one.

Plural forms are usually made by adding -s or -es, but some have irregular forms (like *children*, *mice*).

Now let’s go through each sentence:

---

1. My uncle brought extra (chairs / chaires) to the venue.

✔ Correct answer: chairs
👉 "Chairs" is the correct plural form. "Chaires" is not a real word.
✔️ Answer: chairs

---

2. The (houses / homes) for sale were all huge and expensive.

✔ Both "houses" and "homes" are correct in meaning, but we're choosing the correct form.
👉 "Houses" is the standard plural of "house". "Homes" is also plural, but "houses" fits better here grammatically since it's about properties for sale.
But note: both are valid plurals — however, the question is testing correct spelling and formation.

Since both are correctly spelled, but "houses" is the regular plural of "house", and "homes" is a synonym, but in this context, both are acceptable, but the choice between them isn't about grammar — it's about usage.

Wait — actually, the options are houses / homes, so both are correct plural nouns. But the sentence uses “the (houses / homes)”, so we must pick one.

➡️ Since the sentence talks about properties for sale, "houses" is more commonly used in that context.
Also, "homes" can be used, but "houses" is more neutral and common in real estate contexts.

But again, both are grammatically correct. However, "houses" is the direct plural of "house", while "home" is a different word.

So the best choice is: ✔ houses

✔️ Answer: houses

---

3. The teacher reminded his students to bring their (books / bookes) to school every day.

✔ "Books" is the correct plural. "Bookes" is incorrect spelling.
✔️ Answer: books

---

4. There were a lot of (computers / computeres) in the new internet shop.

✔ "Computers" is correct. "Computeres" is not a word.
✔️ Answer: computers

---

5. She bought three (camera / cameras) for all three of her siblings.

✔ "Three" indicates more than one → needs plural noun.
"Cameras" is the correct plural.
✔️ Answer: cameras

---

6. The (television / televisions) screen was broken.

✔ This is tricky. We need to see if the noun is singular or plural.

The sentence says: "The (television / televisions) screen was broken."

If it's one television, then it's "the television screen" → singular.

If it's multiple TVs, it would be "the televisions' screens", but here it's "screen" (singular), and verb is "was" (singular).

So:
➡️ "The television screen was broken." → refers to one TV.

✔️ Answer: television

---

7. The alarm from that (clocks / clock) was too soft to wake me up.

✔ The verb is "was" → singular.
"Alarm" is singular, so it came from one clock.

So: "that clock" — singular.

✔️ Answer: clock

---

8. The (people / person) were crowded outside the health center.

✔ Verb is "were" → plural subject needed.
"Person" is singular → "people" is the plural form.

Note: "People" is already the plural of "person".

✔️ Answer: people

---

9. Carlos bought some (orangees / oranges) for my Granny Patty.

✔ "Oranges" is correct plural. "Orangees" is not a word.
✔️ Answer: oranges

---

10. Dad planted baby (bamboos / bambooes) on our farm.

✔ This is a bit tricky.
"Bamboo" is an uncountable noun, but when referring to individual plants, we say "bamboo plants" or "bamboos".

In modern English, "bamboos" is accepted as the plural form, especially when referring to individual stalks or plants.

"Bambooes" is not a correct plural form.

✔️ Answer: bamboos

---

✔ Final Answers:

| 6 | television |
