Part 2: Singular and Plural Nouns

Click on the link to watch the Brain Pop Jr. Video:

A singular noun names one person, place, or thing.

A plural noun names more than one person, place, or thing.

There are five rules to help us make nouns plural.

Rule #1: Most nouns show more than one by adding the letter s to the word.

Rule #2: If a noun ends in s, x, z, sh, or ch, add -es to make it more than one.

Rule #3: If a noun ends in y and it comes after a consonant, change the y to i and add -es.

Rule #4: If a noun ends in y and it comes after a vowel, just add s.

Rule #5: If a noun ends in f, change the f to v and add -es.

Quotations: Part 1: PowerPoint Lesson Part 2: Practice Book Page 58

Quotation marks are used to show dialogue or character’s speech in writing.

You will most often see quotation marks in novels, newspapers, and magazines.

To know where to place quotation marks, we look for the speech tags.

We usually place quotations before or after the words said, replied, answered, cried, stated….

John said,“That was the best game I’ve ever seen!”

“The answer is six,” replied Jeanna.

“The capital city of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg,” answered Jim.

“Help, my cat’s stuck in the tree,” cried Tina.

Mr. Morris stated,“The recycling center is bringing the community together.”
