Singular and Plural Nouns
Singular Noun
Singular means one and talks about only one person, place, thing or animal.
For a singular noun we don’t need to add any letters at the end.
For Examples : girl, flower, lunch, bus, house, glass.
Plural Nouns
Plural means many and talks about more than one person, place, thing or animal.
We add s or es at the end of plural nouns.
When writing plural nouns we usually put the letter s at the end of a singular noun to make it plural.
For Examples :
cat will become cats, coin will be coins and pizza will be pizzas.
However when a singular noun ends with the letters s, ss, sh, ch, x or z we add the letters es at the end
For Examples :
church will become churches bush will be bushes and class will become classes
The Examples of singular and plural nouns in sentences :
- I have one banana in my bag.
- We ate many dishes last night.
- Can you get 2 boxes for me ?
- Mother sits on a bench.
