How do these nouns form their plural?


Nouns are names of persons, places,
things, animals and events.

Regular nouns form their plural by


adding s or es.

ex. egg-eggs

Nouns ending in -s, ss, -sh, -ch, -z forms


their plural by adding -es

ex. Class-classes

Some nouns ending in o form their plural


by adding es ex. tomato-tomatoes

However, most nouns that end in o form


their plural by adding s only

ex. radio-radios

Mass and count Nouns


Count nouns are nouns that can be
counted as one or more. They can be
counted individually.
ex. apples, tomatoes

Mass nouns are nouns which cannot be


counted separately.

Ex. rice, vinegar, soup

Regular and Irregular Verbs

Some action words use -s or -es to form


their plural. Some of the examples are
play-plays, water waters. We call this as
regular verbs.

We cannot use -s or -es to form plural of


some words. We change the spelling of
the words. Some of these are: go-went,
tell-told, give-gave. We call this as
irregular verbs.

Regular Verbs Irregular Verbs


Irregular Verbs
Subject-Verb Agreement
Verb must always agree to its number. If
the subject is singular, the verb must be
in singular form.

If the subject is plural, the verb must


also be in plural form. We will study the
correct subject verb agreement to avoid
confusion.

Read these sentences.

1. Manny Pacquiao makes us Filipinos


proud.
Manny Pacquiao - singular
makes - singular

2. He starts and ends his game with a


prayer.
He – singular
starts – singular
3. He tries to win all his games.
He - singular

tries - singular

4. Filipinos watch during his game


Filipinos - plural
watch - plural

5. Many people admire him as a player.

People - plural

admire – plural

The verb must always agree with the


subject in number. A singular subject
requires a singular verb. A plural subject
requires a plural verb.

Use shall with the first-person


pronouns and will with the second and
third person pronouns.

To express determination, promise,


obligation, permission, it is the other
way around.

Will is commonly used and shall is


used in formal writing or speech to
express determination, and in laws and
rules.
