Singular Noun vs Plural Noun | 4 Plural Noun Rules and a Practice Test

hi everyone and welcome back to your English grammar lesson. Today we are going to learn all about singular nouns and plural nouns. Are you ready? I am so let's kind of jump into this, but first our learning objectives are to know all about these singular and plural nouns. How do we change the plural nouns? That's really important and I'm going to show you how to do that today. So let's get started now.
What is a singular noun? Well, a singular noun is one thing. That's it. It's one thing. What is this? It's a phone right. It's a phone. Do you hear the article A? That tells you how many right. It is one thing. A phone cool. Easy right? I knew you were smart. It's just a normal thing right. It's just a normal noun. There's nothing special about it. It's what you already know how to do. Cool. Let's take a look at this now. The basketball player is shooting a basketball on the court. Can you see the nouns in this? Let's take a look and see if we found the nouns. Be careful on this one now. It's tricky. yeah It wasn't basketball player. It was just player. Basketball describes player and that's something I'll teach you later. So player. One player. Just like in the video. One player and then is shooting one basketball. A basketball. A singular noun. Right now where a court. The court sorry. The court. One place. cool Do you see that? The basketball player shooting a basketball on the court. It all matches. Singular nouns okay. Told you that you have got this. Now what is a plural noun? Well a plural noun is more than one thing. just anything. It could be two or a hundred or a thousand or million,Ii you have a million of something. I have a million grains of sand. cool. Now what does that mean? There are four different ways to change a plural noun. relax okay relax. it's not as bad as it sounds. You might already know some of these rules. I'm just kind of wiggling around in my chair here. Let's take a look at the first one okay. Most singular nouns you can just add s.
yeah it's pretty simple. you just add an S right. phone. phones. We have phones.
Now what are those rules again? We want to make sure we remember the plural noun rules. The first one for most singular nouns we just add the S to make it plural. For nouns ending with s, x, ch, and sh, we add the letters ES. For nouns ending with a vowel a e i o u y and the letter y, we add s. For nouns ending with a consonant b c d, the normal letters right. The not vowel letters plus a y we change that y to an i and add es. y to an i and add ES. that's the only rule i had to remember when i was younger because that was the only strange one.
