Plural worksheet for learning grammar rules.

Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

We are given 8 words that end in “y”. The rule says:
→ If a word ends in “y”, and the letter before “y” is a consonant (not a, e, i, o, u), then we change the “y” to “ies” to make it plural.
→ But if the letter before “y” is a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), we just add “s”.

Let’s check each word:

1. penny → ends in “ny” → “n” is a consonant → so change y to ies → pennies ✔
2. fly → ends in “ly” → “l” is a consonant → flies ✔
3. sky → ends in “ky” → “k” is a consonant → skies ✔
4. ferry → ends in “ry” → “r” is a consonant → ferries ✔
5. body → ends in “dy” → “d” is a consonant → bodies ✔
6. fly → same as #2 → flies ✔
7. story → ends in “ry” → “r” is a consonant → stories ✔
8. berry → ends in “ry” → “r” is a consonant → berries ✔

Wait — let’s double-check: Are any of these ending with a vowel + y?
Look again:
- penny → n (consonant)
- fly → l (consonant)
- sky → k (consonant)
- ferry → r (consonant)
- body → d (consonant)
- fly → l (consonant)
- story → r (consonant)
- berry → r (consonant)

All of them have consonants before the “y”, so all become “ies”.

So for Part A, the answers are:
1. pennies
2. flies
3. skies
4. ferries
5. bodies
6. flies
7. stories
8. berries

Now Part B: Choose four of those plurals and use each in your own sentence.

You can pick any four. Let’s pick:
- pennies
- flies
- stories
- berries

Now write simple sentences:

1. I found five pennies under my bed.
2. Two flies landed on my sandwich.
3. My grandma told me three funny stories.
4. We picked fresh berries from the bush.

These are clear, correct, and use the plural forms properly.

Final Answer:

Part A:
1. pennies
2. flies
3. skies
4. ferries
5. bodies
6. flies
7. stories
8. berries

Part B (example sentences):
1. I found five pennies under my bed.
2. Two flies landed on my sandwich.
3. My grandma told me three funny stories.
4. We picked fresh berries from the bush.
