Weekend of December 6

LA ARTS: Students will need to finish paragraph 4 of there essay if not done in class (most should be done with this:))

****This will help students with their homework this coming week. This will be on the next test.

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

Rules for forming Plural nouns

1. Most singular nouns: add an –s to make it plural
Ex: house-houses

2. Nouns ending in s,x, ch, or sh: add an –es to make it plural.
Ex: Dress-Dresses, ax-axes

3. Nouns ending with a vowel and y: Add and –s to make it plural.
Ex:valley-valleys, joy-joys

4. Nouns ending with a consonant and y: change the y to an i and add and es- Ex: City-cities, cranberry-cranberries
