Use of regular and Irregular plurals in speaking and writing simple sentences

Hello! Today we’re going to talk about regular and irregular plurals. Plurals are used when we talk about more than one thing. For example, if we have one apple, and then we get another apple, we have two apples!

When we talk about regular plurals, we add an “s” to the end of the word to show that there is more than one. For example, if we have one dog, and then we get another dog, we have two dogs!

Let’s try some examples together:

  • One cat, two cats
  • One book, two books
  • One pen, two pens

Easy, right?

However, there are some words that have irregular plurals. This means that they don’t follow the usual pattern of adding “s” to the end of the word. Instead, they change in different ways. Let’s look at some examples:

  • One child, two children
  • One foot, two feet
  • One tooth, two teeth

Can you see how these words change differently? It’s important to remember these irregular plurals, so that we use the correct form when we talk about more than one thing.

Now, let’s try some more examples:

  • One mouse, two mice
  • One woman, two women
  • One goose, two geese

Great job! Now you know the difference between regular and irregular plurals. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be using them correctly in all your writing and speaking!
