Step-by-step solution for: Nouns Worksheets | Singular and Plural Nouns Worksheets | Nouns ...
Let's solve the Plural Nouns Worksheet step by step, following the rules provided:
---
1. Add -s to most nouns:
→ *apple → apples*
2. Add -es when a noun ends in s, ch, sh, or x:
→ *class → classes*, *switch → switches*, *watch → watches*
---
Now, let’s go through each noun and form its plural.
---
1. street → streets
(Regular: add -s)
2. bridge → bridges
(Ends in "ge", but not s/ch/sh/x → add -s; note: "ge" doesn't trigger -es rule)
→ Wait! Actually, "bridge" ends in -ge, which is not one of the special endings (s, ch, sh, x), so it just takes -s → bridges ✔️
3. patch → patches
(Ends in ch → add -es) → patches
4. rocket → rockets
(Regular: add -s)
5. class → classes
(Ends in s → add -es) → classes
6. wallet → wallets
(Regular: add -s)
7. fox → foxes
(Ends in x → add -es) → foxes
8. pajama → pajamas
(Regular: add -s)
*(Note: "pajama" is often treated as regular plural)* → pajamas
9. sock → socks
(Regular: add -s)
10. nurse → nurses
(Regular: add -s)
11. address → addresses
(Ends in s → add -es) → addresses
12. inch → inches
(Ends in ch → add -es) → inches
13. couch → couches
(Ends in ch → add -es) → couches
14. bread → breads
(Regular: add -s)
15. doctor → doctors
(Regular: add -s)
16. tax → taxes
(Ends in x → add -es) → taxes
17. glass → glasses
(Ends in ss → add -es) → glasses
18. cat → cats
(Regular: add -s)
19. lamp → lamps
(Regular: add -s)
20. house → houses
(Ends in s → add -es) → houses
21. flash → flashes
(Ends in sh → add -es) → flashes
22. table → tables
(Regular: add -s)
23. church → churches
(Ends in ch → add -es) → churches
24. pan → pans
(Regular: add -s)
25. ______ → ???
Wait — there are 25 items listed, but only 24 numbered? Let's check:
Looking back:
- 1–12 on left
- 14–25 on right → missing #13?
Ah! There's a typo: item 13 is missing. It says:
> 14. couch
> 15. bread
> ...
> 25. pan
So likely, #13 is missing. But we have 25 total entries.
Wait:
- Left column: 1 to 12 → 12 items
- Right column: 14 to 25 → 12 items
→ Total: 24 items
But the list shows numbers up to 25, with no #13 → probably a numbering error.
But based on what's written, here are all answers:
---
| Number | Singular | Plural |
|--------|--------------|--------------|
| 1 | street | streets |
| 2 | bridge | bridges |
| 3 | patch | patches |
| 4 | rocket | rockets |
| 5 | class | classes |
| 6 | wallet | wallets |
| 7 | fox | foxes |
| 8 | pajama | pajamas |
| 9 | sock | socks |
| 10 | nurse | nurses |
| 11 | address | addresses |
| 12 | inch | inches |
| 14 | couch | couches |
| 15 | bread | breads |
| 16 | doctor | doctors |
| 17 | tax | taxes |
| 18 | glass | glasses |
| 19 | cat | cats |
| 20 | lamp | lamps |
| 21 | house | houses |
| 22 | flash | flashes |
| 23 | table | tables |
| 24 | church | churches |
| 25 | pan | pans |
---
There is no #13 in the worksheet. This appears to be a printing error — possibly meant to be 13. But since it's missing, we can ignore it.
---
- Add -s: for most nouns (e.g., street → streets)
- Add -es: when ending in s, ch, sh, x (e.g., fox → foxes, church → churches)
---
Take "class" → ends in s, so we add -es → classes
Take "fox" → ends in x, so we add -es → foxes
Take "pajama" → ends in a, so just add -s → pajamas

✔ All answers follow standard English pluralization rules.
