The task in the image is to
match singular nouns with their correct plural forms. This is a common grammar exercise designed to help learners understand how singular (one) and plural (more than one) nouns are related.
Let’s go through the activity step by step:

🔹 Left Side: Matching Exercise (Example)
On the left side of the image, we see a matching activity where:
- On the
left column, there are
singular nouns with pictures.
- On the
right column, there are
plural nouns with pictures.
- The goal is to draw lines from each singular noun to its corresponding plural noun.
#### Singular Nouns (with images):
1.
cup – picture of a single cup
2.
apple – picture of one apple
3.
bee – picture of one bee
4.
glass – picture of one glass
5.
brush – picture of one toothbrush
6.
horse – picture of one horse
7.
car – picture of one car
#### Plural Nouns (with images):
1.
apples – picture of multiple apples
2.
horses – picture of multiple horses
3.
cars – picture of multiple cars
4.
bees – picture of multiple bees
5.
glasses – picture of multiple glasses
6.
brushes – picture of multiple brushes
7.

🔹 Right Side: Matching Task (Main Activity)
This side presents the same concept but without pre-drawn matches. You must match each singular noun to the correct plural form.
Here’s how to solve it:
| Singular | Plural |
|--------|--------|
| cup | cups |
| apple | apples |
| bee | bees |
| glass | glasses |
| brush | brushes |
| horse | horses |
| car | cars |
>
✔ Note: Some plurals follow regular rules (add -s or -es), while others are irregular (e.g., "mouse" → "mice", but not applicable here).

🔍 Step-by-step Matching:
1.
cup →
cups
*(One cup becomes many cups)*
2.
apple →
apples
*(One apple becomes many apples)*
3.
bee →
bees
*(One bee becomes many bees; add -s)*
4.
glass →
glasses
*(One glass becomes many glasses; add -es because it ends in 's')*
5.
brush →
brushes
*(One brush becomes many brushes; add -es because it ends in 'sh')*
6.
horse →
horses
*(One horse becomes many horses; add -es because it ends in 'se')*
7.
car →
cars
*(One car becomes many cars; add -s)*
---
✔ Final Answer:
Match each singular noun to its plural form as follows:
-
cup →
cups
-
apple →
apples
-
bee →
bees
-
glass →
glasses
-
brush →

📝 Explanation:
This exercise helps students learn:
- How to identify singular vs. plural nouns.
- Common pluralization rules:
- Add
-s for most words (e.g., cup → cups).
- Add
-es for words ending in s, sh, ch, x, z (e.g., brush → brushes).
- Visual association using pictures reinforces vocabulary learning.

✔ Tip for Students: Always look at the picture to confirm what you're matching — e.g., if the plural shows multiple items, it's likely the correct match.
