Plurals - English Grammar Exercises

Plurals in English—it sounds simple at first, but there's actually more to it than just slapping an "s" on the end of a word. Sometimes you add "es," sometimes you change the whole word (like "child" to "children"), and sometimes nothing changes at all (looking at you, "sheep").

This module covers the main plural patterns you'll run into: regular plurals (cats, dogs, books), common irregular plurals (women, mice, feet), and how to match them with the right verbs. You'll practice with 25 exercises that show you real sentence patterns.

Wait, there's more!

Keep an eye out for words ending in "y." If there's a consonant before the "y," it usually changes to "ies" (city → cities). If there's a vowel, just add "s" (boy → boys). This is one of those little details that makes a big difference.

Tricky Cases

Watch out for common mistakes when using Plurals. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and how different contexts can change the correct form. Some patterns might seem similar but have important differences.

Remember that context matters. The same sentence structure might work differently depending on whether you're talking about the past, present, or future, or whether you're making a statement or asking a question.

What You'll Practice

The 25 exercises give you sentences where Plurals needs to be used correctly. You'll practice:

• Identifying the correct form based on the subject and context
