0:02 ESL Library Singular & Plural Nouns
0:11 What are nouns? Nouns can be people, places, or things.
0:18 Examples of people are: a teacher ("That is correct.") children
0:27 Examples of places are: a beach cities
0:36 Examples of things are: a guitar flowers
0:48 A noun can be singular or plural. Singular means one. A singular noun doesn't have an "s" on the end.
1:02 For example: a bird, a guitar, a computer Plural means two or more.
1:18 To form the plural of a regular noun, we add an "s" to the end of the noun. For example: birds, guitars, computers
1:43 Some nouns in English are irregular. If a noun is irregular, it doesn't follow the rule of adding an "s" to the plural form. Instead, there is another kind of change to the noun.
2:01 Some nouns have a vowel change. For example: foot becomes feet and tooth becomes teeth.
2:15 Also, man becomes men and woman becomes women.
2:25 Other nouns have a consonant change before adding the plural "s" ending. For example: leaf becomes leaves
2:38 and knife becomes knives. Some nouns have a different plural ending than "s."
2:46 For example: child becomes children and ox becomes oxen.
2:57 Other nouns become a new word. For example: person becomes people
3:06 and mouse becomes mice. Some nouns don't change form from singular to plural.
3:15 For example: deer remains deer and fish remains fish.
3:28 Look at the picture and say or write the plural form of each noun. For example: wife
3:43 wives Now you try!
