Pedagogical Grammar Singular/Plural Presented by: Samar and Roaa Presented to: Prof. Penny Ur 15.06.2011

Definitions: A noun is the part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject or object of a verb, the object of a preposition, or an appositive. Singular indicates one noun. Plural indicates two or more. Count-nouns are part of the speech that can be formed into plural. Non-count nouns: you cannot add a number to the front or an s to the end of these words

Rules To change a noun from singular to plural, we usually add s at the end of the noun We add es if the noun ends with s, ss, ch, sh, x or z. If the noun ends with consonant+ y, we drop the y and add ”ies”. But if the noun ends with vowel+ y, we only add “s”. If the noun ends with “f”, we change the “f” into “v” then we add “es”. There are some exceptions to the rules.

Introduction: T. shows two boxes and shakes them. Box A includes only one item. Box B includes several from the same item. The teacher elicits questions from the pupils who are trying to guess what is in the boxes. Using “Is there….?” and “Are there…?”. The teacher opens the boxes and presents the objects, saying a ….. and the plural.
