Pictures of words with special plurals, like tooth and teeth, or sheep and sheep.
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.
