About this worksheet

A singular noun names one person, place or thing, and a plural noun names more than one. Most nouns add -s to show more than one: one cat, two cats. Nouns that end in x, s, sh, ch or z add -es instead: one fox, two foxes. On this worksheet each line shows one thing and asks for more than one, and your child writes the plural noun on the line.

Support sheets use nouns that just add -s plus a couple of -es nouns, standard sheets add the -es endings, and challenge sheets use only the -es words. Say the pair out loud first, 'one fox, two foxes', and listen for the extra sound at the end.

What your child will learn

  • Tell one from more than one
  • Add -s to make a plural noun
  • Add -es to nouns that end in x, s, sh or ch
  • Write a plural noun on a line

Common Core standard: L.1.1.C

Worked example

One fox. Two ____. A fox ends with x, so add -es. The plural is foxes.

Common mistake

Adding only -s to a noun that needs -es, such as writing foxs or dishs.

Helpful hint

Say the word with 'two' in front of it. If you hear an extra sound at the end, add -es.
