Step-by-step solution for: Singular and Plural Nouns-4 - skoolon.com
Let's solve the worksheet step by step.
---
We need to change the underlined singular nouns into their plural forms and adjust other parts of the sentence accordingly (like pronouns, verbs, or articles) to make the sentence grammatically correct.
---
1) I made a wish on a falling star.
- "wish" → "wishes"
- "a" → "some" or "wishes" can be used with "a" only if it's one; but since we're making it plural, we use "wishes"
- The verb "made" remains unchanged because it refers to the subject "I"
✔ Answer: *I made wishes on falling stars.*
> Note: "falling star" becomes "falling stars" — plural.
---
2) I take the bus to reach the station.
- "bus" → "buses"
- "the" stays as is
- "take" must agree with plural noun? No — the subject is "I", which is singular, so verb remains "take"
✔ Answer: *I take the buses to reach the station.*
> Wait — this sounds odd. "Take the buses" implies multiple buses. But usually, someone takes *one* bus. However, since the instruction is to make the noun plural, we do so even if it's slightly awkward.
Alternatively, maybe the intended meaning is that you take multiple buses to get there. So:
✔ Answer: *I take the buses to reach the station.*
(Though contextually better might be “I take several buses” — but for grammar practice, we just pluralize the noun.)
---
3) The dentist cleaned my tooth yesterday.
- "tooth" → "teeth" (irregular plural)
- "my" stays
- "cleaned" remains (past tense)
✔ Answer: *The dentist cleaned my teeth yesterday.*
---
4) The child went to the park to play.
- "child" → "children"
- "went" is past tense of "go" — remains same for both singular and plural subjects
✔ Answer: *The children went to the park to play.*
---
5) This is a beautiful flower.
- "flower" → "flowers"
- "This" → "These" (plural demonstrative)
- "is" → "are" (plural verb)
- "a" → remove or replace with "some" or nothing
✔ Answer: *These are beautiful flowers.*
> Alternatively: *These are some beautiful flowers.*
But simplest and correct: *These are beautiful flowers.*
---
6) Jerry ate a sandwich for lunch.
- "sandwich" → "sandwiches"
- "a" → "some" or "two" etc., but here we can say "sandwiches" directly
- "ate" remains (past tense, doesn't change)
✔ Answer: *Jerry ate sandwiches for lunch.*
> Or: *Jerry ate some sandwiches for lunch.* — more natural, but acceptable.
---
