A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Review one versus more than one with classroom objects. Display -s, -es, consonant-plus-y and irregular examples. Keep the key separate and distinguish toys from cities so learners do not apply -ies to every y ending.
- Read Packing for a trip and complete Part A, explaining the noun-ending clue.
- Fill the picnic text and complete Part C. In the two-sentence rewrites, change the verb and any other noun that must become plural, including teachers.
- Write three sentences about visible classroom or bag items, then compare answers using the supplied speaking prompts.
Support and extension
For support, sort examples by plural pattern and provide a short irregular list. For an extension, describe an imagined bag with varied quantities. Check Parts A–C against the key; personal inventories vary. People is the usual plural in this lesson, with persons reserved for appropriate formal contexts.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
