Nice try, my friend. Are you ready for the next activity?
So, come on! Let’s continue.
WARMING UP
Can you find the following nouns? Find and encircle them in
the puzzle.

Excellent! Now, you are doing well on this activity. Let us move
on to the next.
LEARNING ABOUT IT
books
Now, let us have a guessing game.
I’m thinking of stories which I can
read.
Some are found in big pages, others
in small ones.
They are colorful and fun to see.
Can you guess what they are?
2
Let us discuss more about plural nouns ending in –s or –es. Look
at each picture and read the phrase beside it.
A. book in English B. books in the library
How many books are in picture A? There is only one, right?
How about the books in picture B? There are two or more books in
picture B.
You can notice that they are all in singular form. It is called
singular noun.
In picture B, you can see that there is –s at the end of it. It is
called plural noun. In forming most nouns in plural form, we simply
add –s or –es for regular nouns.
Given the example above, we form the plural of book by just
adding –s. But for word ending in s, sh, ch or x, we add –es to make
them plural form.
I hope you understand
our discussion! Are you now
ready for our next activities?
Let’s go!

POINTS TO PONDER
“Reflection Time”
Everything that we see are nouns. Nouns are names of
persons, animals, places, and things. Remember that when nouns
are expressed more or greater than one in number this is called
plural form. We make the plural form of regular nouns by adding –s
or –es. Nouns ending with s, sh, ch,x form its plural by adding –es.
Learning about plural nouns will help you better understand how
they are formed as well as how we can use it in our everyday life.
This ends our module.
Congratulations! See you
again in the next module! I
hope you enjoyed our
activities together.
