Look Around
Look around your classroom. You will find more than one of many objects.
Remember three simple rules to form the plural of a noun:
◆ If a word ends in a vowel, add “s.”
◆ If a word ends in a consonant, add “es.”
◆ If a word ends in “z,” change the z to c and add “es.”
Use these rules to write the singular or plural form of each word.
