Singular & Plural Noun Matching Practice Worksheet

In the following exercises, kids need to draw a line matching the singular nouns on the left-hand side to their correct plural forms given on the right-hand side. It is a simple task if one knows the different rules regarding the pluralization of nouns. These rules are:

We add ‑s to the end to make regular nouns plural. Ex: Boy – Boys.
If the singular noun ends in ‑s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x, or -z, add ‑es instead of -s to the end to make it plural. Ex: Bus – Busses
If the noun ends with ‘‑f’ or ‘‑fe’, the f is often changed to ‑ve, and -s is added to form the plural version. Ex: Wolf – Wolves
If a singular noun ends in ‑y and the letter before the’ -y’ is a consonant, we change the ending to ‑’ies’. Ex: City – Cities.
If the noun ends in ‑o, we add ‑es to make it plural. Ex: Potato – Potatoes
If the singular noun ends in ‑us, the plural is made by adding ‘‑i’ at the end. Ex: Cactus – Cacti
If the singular noun ends in ‑is, the plural ending is ‑es. Ex: Analysis – Analyses
If the singular noun ends in ‑on, the ending of the plural form of the noun is-a. Ex: Phenomenon – Phenomena
