Plural Nouns
Fun Activities for Your Classroom When students learn the rules for forming regular plurals and memorize the exceptions to the rules by practicing irregular plural forms, writing becomes easier and more accurate. And of course, you can also create your own lists from scratch, featuring precisely the words your students most need to learn, when they need to learn them
Types of Nouns
For example, when used to signify possession of another noun, pronouns take on their possessive form such as mine, ours, hers, and theirs.That pizza belongs to Marley. While modern linguistics find this definition to be problematic because it relies on non-specific nouns such as thing to specifically define what a noun is, much of our social understanding of what nouns are defers to the traditional definition
Forming plural nouns in English
These are the following nouns: calf, life, shelf, half, loaf, thief, knife, self, wife, leaf, sheaf, wolf Some nouns ending in -f can either take -s or change the -f into -v- and add -es e.g
The similarity of sound of -as and -us in unaccented English syllables makes some people believe the word is gladiolas, which they suppose is a plural with the singular form gladiola.

Nouns can be classified further as count nouns, which name anything that can be counted (four books, two continents, a few dishes, a dozen buildings); mass nouns (or non-count nouns), which name something that can't be counted (water, air, energy, blood); and collective nouns, which can take a singular form but are composed of more than one individual person or items (jury, team, class, committee, herd). Assaying for Nouns* Back in the gold rush days, every little town in the American Old West had an assayer's office, a place where wild-eyed prospectors could take their bags of ore for official testing, to make sure the shiny stuff they'd found was the real thing, not "fool's gold." We offer here some assay tests for nouns
For instance, when we want each student to see his or her counselor (and each student is assigned to only one counselor), but we want to avoid that "his or her" construction by pluralizing, do we say "Students must see their counselors" or "Students must see their counselor"? The singular counselor is necesssary to avoid the implication that students have more than one counselor apiece. We would write that "The Yankees have signed a new third baseman" and "The Yankees are a great organization" (even if we're Red Sox fans) and that "For two years in a row, the Utah Jazz have attempted to draft a big man." When we refer to a team by the city in which it resides, however, we use the singular, as in "Dallas has attempted to secure the services of two assistant coaches that Green Bay hopes to keep."
