Key Notes:
📝 Singular and Plural Nouns 🌟
| What is a Noun? |
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or animal.
- Examples: 👦 boy, 🏠 house, 🐶 dog, 🍎 apple
| Singular Noun 🟢 |
- Names one person, place, thing, or animal.
- We use singular nouns when talking about one only.
Examples:
- 👩 girl
- 🐱 cat
- 🍌 banana
- 🚗 car
Tip: Singular nouns do not end with -s (usually).
| Plural Noun 🔵 |
- Names more than one person, place, thing, or animal.
- We use plural nouns when talking about two or more.
Examples:
- 👩👩 girls
- 🐱🐱 cats
- 🍌🍌 bananas
- 🚗🚗 cars
Tip: Most plural nouns are formed by adding -s.
| Special Plural Rules ✨ |
| Singular | Plural | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Ends in s, x, z, ch, sh | add -es | bus → buses 🚌, box → boxes 📦 |
| Ends in y after a consonant | change y → ies | baby → babies 👶 |
| Irregular nouns | change completely | man → men 👨, child → children 👧👦 |
