Discussion questions

Talk about it

A plural noun means more than one. Usually you add -s (cat → cats); after some endings you add -es (box → boxes).

  1. What is the plural of 'dog'? Of 'bus'?
  2. Why do we add -es to 'box' instead of just -s?
  3. Can you find a plural noun in a book near you?
