About this chart
The rules for -s, -es, y to -ies and special plurals, plus -ed and special past tense verbs.
What kids practice
A plural means more than one. Most words just add -s, words ending in s, x, ch or sh add -es, and some special words change completely, like foot to feet. Past tense tells that something already happened. Most verbs add -ed, but many common ones change, like go to went and see to saw.
Watch for
- Adding -s to special words, like foots, mouses or sheeps.
- Writing boxs instead of boxes.
- Saying goed, runned or eated instead of went, ran and ate.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full plurals and past tense guide for 2nd grade.
