determine if they are singular or plural.
● More Practice - Like the first
worksheet, students have to identify
the nouns and then determine if they
are singular or plural.
● Irregulars - Since all nouns do not
follow the same rules for becoming
plural, students must learn how to write
the irregular nouns in plural form as
well.
● Generator - This website helps to
generate a worksheet that tailors to the
needs of plural noun learners.
● Animals - Students write the plural
names of animals on a worksheet.
● More Animals - This site includes more
practice with writing the plural forms of
animals. More difficult ones such as
"ox" are included.
● Birthday - Students write the plural of
words directly related to birthdays and
birthday parties.
● Body-Related - Like the
aforementioned worksheets, students
have to write the plural forms of
different body parts.
