Ok you may now take your seats.

I am teacher Melanie Ordanel, you can call me teacher Mhel, and today I’m going

1. Review

Let us recall our lesson yesterday. Can anyone tell me what is it all about?

Yes! Yesterday, we talk about nouns.

What are nouns again?

 That’s right. Nouns are names of person, thing, place, animal, or event.

2. Motivation

I have here some pictures. I want you to look at them and tell me what they

are.

B. Presentation

Let us compare the pictures in column A with the pictures in column B by

counting.

How many cats are there in column A?

How many boxes are there in column A?

How many babies are there in column A?

How many schools are there in column A?

How many birthdays are there in column A?

Now let us count the pictures in column B.

How many cats are there in column B?

How many boxes are there in column B?

How many babies are there in column B?

How many schools are there in column B?

How many birthday are there in column B?

Now let me ask you a question.

What do you call those nouns in column A?

Do you have any idea?

 We call them as singular nouns.

Singular noun is a form of noun which refers to only one noun.

We form them by writing the root word.

Examples are: cat, box, baby, school, party

How about the picture in column B?

What do you call them?

We call them as plural nouns.

Plural noun is a form of noun which refers to two or more nouns.

Examples are: cats, boxes, babies, schools, parties

How do we write the plural form of the nouns?

C. Discussion

Let us read the poem entitled

“Foxes in Boxes”

A mother fox had many foxes

So many that they lived in boxes.

The mother she made lots of socks

For each and every little fox.

The foxes they love to eat snacks

The mother would put them in packs

Out of the boxes

And on the school buses

To school with their snack packs,

No time for fusses.

They wave goodbye

And mom replied,

“Such nice and sweet little foxes.”

What can you say about the poem?

Did you like it?

Did your mother also pack foods for you when you come to school?

That’s nice! All mothers do take care of their kids in different ways that is why

we should always be thankful for the unending love and care of our mothers.

Can you identify the plural nouns in the poem?

foxes boxes socks snacks packs buses fusses

Now, how do we write the plural form of the nouns?

There are different ways and rules to do that.

Rule number

1. Add –s to the end of the root word to form its plural.

girl - girls boy - boys

2. Add –es to nouns that end in s, sh, x, ch, or z.

fox - foxes dish – dishes

3. For nouns ending in f or fe, change f or fe to v and add es

wolf – wolves knife – knives

4. Add –s to other nouns that end in f or fe.

giraffe – giraffes belief – beliefs

5. Add –es to nouns ending in o preceded by a consonant.

tomato – tomatoes echo – echoes

 6. Add –s to nouns ending in o preceded by vowel.

zoo – zoos patio – patios

however, there are nouns ending in o that have two plural forms, such as

mangos or mangoes and volcanos or volcanoes. We either add –s or –es to

theses nouns.

7. For nouns that end in y preceded by a consonant, change y to i and add –es.

lily – lilies fly - flies

8. For nouns that end in y preceded by a vowel, add –s.

day – days key - keys

9. Change the spelling of irregular nouns to write their plural form.

man - men tooth - teeth

child - children goose - geese

foot - feet woman - women

mouse - mice ox - oxen

louse - lice basis - bases

D. Generalization

Singular nouns are words that refer to only one noun and we form them by

writing the root word.

Plural noun are words that refers to two or more nouns. They are formed using the

different rules of forming plural nouns.

E. Application

a. Individual

b. Now, I’m going to divide you into 2 groups. Each group need to complete the

table by writing the missing singular or plural form of the noun. Each correct

answer is equivalent to a point. One point for singular noun and 2 points for
