Content :
Irregular plural nouns are nouns that do not become plurals by the addition of ‘s’ or ‘es’ as most English words do. There are other words whose plurals are formed in different ways, either by changing ‘fe; to ‘ves’ as in wife——— wives, life-lives etc, or by changing
the entire spelling as in mouse————-mice, child———- children, or by changing the
vowel like goose—————-geese, tooth———— teeth etc.
One thing to note is that, children just have to memorise the plurals of irregular nouns. The more they practice it, the more they know.
For this class who are not more into writing, we will look at the irregular nouns that have different pronunciations like———-man- men, tooth——-teeth——–, foot——-
feet, child——–children, woman———women, goose=======geese, mouse—– mice,
- PROMPTING: Nouns and their plural
( Its good not to use similar prompting so as not to confuse the children. In regular nouns, we used singular and plurals, here, we have to use nouns and their plurals so as to clearly differentiate the two for the kids)
- RESPONSE: Nouns and their plurals
Man men
Child children
Woman women
Tooth teeth
Foot feet
Mouse mice
Goose geese
