Grade 2 Grammar Worksheet - Building Confidence
Write the plural of the word in brackets.
A flock of (goose) flew south.
The (wife) of the sailors waved.
The (man) sang a song together.
Three (child) played on the swings.
Wash your (foot) before bed.
The (calf) stayed close to the cow.
We saw six (deer) in the forest.
Her (tooth) are very clean.
The (woman) waited for the bus.
She lost two (tooth) this year.
Some nouns do not make the plural by adding s or es. One child becomes two children, one foot becomes two feet and one mouse becomes two mice. These are called irregular plurals, and second graders learn them one at a time, mostly by hearing and using them. A few, such as sheep and deer, do not change at all, and others change an f to ves, like leaf and leaves.
This worksheet gives ten sentences with a blank and the singular word in brackets, and the child writes the plural that fits. Ask your child to say the sentence aloud with their answer to hear whether it sounds right. A plural that ends with an s added to a changed word, such as mouses or foots, is the most common slip.
Common Core standard: L.2.1.B
One tooth, two teeth. 'She lost two teeth this year.' The word changes inside, so no s is added.
Adding s to the singular (mouses, foots, childs) instead of using the special plural.
Say the sentence aloud with your answer. Does it sound right?
