Form and use irregular plurals
Key Notes:-
Introduction to Plurals:
- Explain that plurals are used to talk about more than one person, animal, or thing.
- Regular plurals are formed by adding “-s” or “-es” to the end of a word (e.g., cats, boxes).
Irregular Plurals:
- Irregular plurals do not follow the regular rule of adding “-s” or “-es.” Instead, they change in different ways.
Common Irregular Plurals:
- Man → Men
- Woman → Women
- Child → Children
- Foot → Feet
- Tooth → Teeth
- Mouse → Mice
- Goose → Geese
- Person → People
Patterns in Irregular Plurals:
- Some irregular plurals change vowels (e.g., tooth → teeth).
- Some change completely (e.g., mouse → mice).
- Some have unique plurals (e.g., person → people).
