Let's solve the worksheet step by step. The task is to write the
plural form of each given
singular noun.
Here are the rules for forming plurals in English that we’ll apply:
1.
Most nouns: Add
-s
Example: cat → cats
2.
Nouns ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -x, -z: Add
-es
Example: bus → buses
3.
Nouns ending in consonant + y: Change
y to
i and add
-es
Example: baby → babies
4.
Nouns ending in vowel + y: Just add
-s
Example: day → days
5.
Irregular plurals: These don’t follow standard rules
Examples: tooth → teeth, child → children
---
Now let’s go through each word:
1)
lamp →
lamps
(Regular plural: add -s)
2)
teacher →
teachers
(Add -s)
3)
plant →
plants
(Add -s)
4)
table →
tables
(Add -s)
5)
phone →
phones
(Add -s)
6)
tooth →
teeth
(Irregular: tooth → teeth)
7)
spoon →
spoons
(Add -s)
8)
shoe →
shoes
(Add -es because it ends with "e" but not a consonant+y; actually, just add -s? Wait — shoe ends in "e", so it's regular:
shoes)
✔ Correct:
shoes
9)
cow →
cows
(Add -s)
10)
book →
books
(Add -s)
11)
car →
cars
(Add -s)
12)
friend →
friends
(Add -s)
13)
hat →
hats
(Add -s)
14)
park →
parks
(Add -s)
15)
toy →
toys
(Ends in vowel + y → add -s)
16)
zebra →
zebras
(Add -s)
17)
rock →
rocks
(Add -s)
18) *(Not fully visible)* — likely missing, but assuming it's something like
man,
child, or similar. But since only 17 are visible, we’ll stop here.

✔ Final Answers:
1) lamps
2) teachers
3) plants
4) tables
5) phones
6) teeth
7) spoons
8) shoes
9) cows
10) books
11) cars
12) friends
13) hats
14) parks
15) toys
16) zebras
17) rocks
> Note: If there was an 18th word (e.g., “man” → “men”, “child” → “children”), it would be irregular. But based on what’s shown, these are all correct.
---
✔ Summary: Most words follow the simple rule of adding
-s or
-es. Only
tooth → teeth is irregular in this list.
