 Today's lesson 

1. Review regular and irregular plural nouns. 

    Regular plural nouns: by adding "s/es" to the singular noun. 

    "s / ss / ch / sh / o / x / z " adding "es" to the singular noun : bus / dresses / churches / dishes / heroes /         foxes / *quizzes 

        Irregular - nouns don't follow this rule. 

       1. f/fe (only 1 "f")  -- drop the "f" change it to "ves" 

                  example:  loaf - loaves  ;  knife - knives 

       exception: 1."ff" (2 f) : cuff  - cuffs ; puff - puffs  

                                    2.roof - roofs ; chief - chiefs ; giraffe - giraffes 

                                   3. some words with ending "f" can be spelled either way: calfs/calves ;                                                        wharfs/wharves ; hoofs/hooves ; dwarfs/dwarves 

             

        2. exception for "o" ending nouns: 

           if the word is related to music, just add "s": piano / pianos ; cello / cellos; solo/ solos; banjo/                 banjos ;  radio/ radios; video /videos 

       if the word is a shortened form: photo  (photograph) = photos

       if a word has a vowel + "o": zoo / zoos ; kangaroo/ kangaroos 

   

        3. some words change the spelling: 

         child / children ; man / men ; mouse / mice; 

         foot / feet; goose / geese ; tooth / teeth
