Plural Form of Regular Nouns
4 Lesson
I
This lesson focuses on how to form the plural of regular nouns. At the
end of the lesson, you are expected to use the plural form of regular nouns
by adding /s/ or /es/ (e.g. dog-dogs, plate-plates, trash-trashes).
Nouns are grouped into their quantities. Singular nouns refer to one
person, animal, place, thing or event. Plural nouns refer to two or more
persons, animals, places, things or events. Plural words are formed by
adding –s or -es at the end of the words as well as words ending with
-x, -z, -ch and –sh.
Singular Nouns Plural Nouns
street cleaner street cleaners
cow cows
park parks
festival festivals
dress dresses
box boxes
church churches
quiz quizzes
brush brushes
Plural Nouns Ending with O
When a noun that ends with the letter –o is preceded with a
vowel, add –s to make it plural. If the preceding letter is a consonant, add
–es to form the plural.
Examples:
Preceded by a vowel Preceded by a consonant
cameo – cameos volcano – volcanoes
radio – radios echo – echoes
ratio – ratios potato – potatoes
Note:
Expo, piano and bolo are exceptions to the rule. The plural of these
words is formed by just adding –s as expos, pianos, bolos.

Plural Nouns ending with –fe or -f

1. Nouns that end with –f or –fe form the plural nouns by changing –f or –fe
into v and adding -es.
Examples : elf – elves knife – knives
2. Some words ending in two vowels –f or –fe form their plural nouns by
adding – s.
Examples : roof – roofs chief – chiefs
Note:
Leaf (leaves) and thief (thieves) are exceptions to the rule.

PIVOT 4A CALABARZON English G3 20

3. Some words ending in –ff form their plural nouns by adding –s.
Examples: cliff - cliffs scuff - scuffs

4. Some words ending in –f like dwarf and wharf can have two plural forms .
Examples : dwarfs - dwarves wharfs - wharves

Plural Nouns ending with -y

If the letter preceding letter -y is a vowel, add –s to form the plural.

If the letter preceding letter -y is a consonant, change letter -y to –i, then
add –es to form the plural.

Examples :
Preceded by vowels Preceded by consonants

CVC Pattern 5
Lesson

I
This lesson focuses on medial words with CVC pattern and short / a/
or /æ/, /e/, / i /, /o / and /u/ sounds to enhance Phonics Word
Recognition. At the end of the lesson, you are expected to: differentiate
words with different medial vowels (e.g. cap-cop-cup, fan-fin-fun); and
read words with short [a, e, i, o, u ] sounds, phrases, and sentences (e.g.
children, feet, teeth).

CVC is the acronym for Consonant-Vowel-Consonant spelling pattern.

The alphabet is divided into two groups: the vowels and the consonants. The
letters that belong to:

a. Vowels are A E I O U.
b. Consonants are B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S TV W X Y Z.

The alphabet is used to make a word with a CVC pattern.

Examples : ran - r is a consonant
a is a vowel
n is a consonant
Other Examples : cat pet Jim toy sun

The short vowel sound /a/ or / æ / is pronounced as /ah/. This can be

produced by opening the mouth wide enough to release the air from the
lungs.

Examples: bar cap fat ham

The short vowel sound /e/ is pronounced as /eh/. This can be pro-
duced by opening the mouth slightly wide enough to release the air from
the lungs.

Examples : bet ten red keg

25 PIVOT 4A CALABARZON English G3

 The short vowel sound /i/ is pronounced as /ih/. This can be
produced by opening the mouth as if you are smiling and releasing the air
from the lungs.

Examples : rib tip sit wig

The CVC spelling pattern with short vowel sound /o/ is

pronounced as /oh/. This can be produced by opening the mouth like the
letter O and releasing the air from the lungs.

Examples : sob hop ton not hog

The CVC spelling pattern with short vowel sound /u/ is

pronounced as /uh/. The sound of short vowel /u/ is like the sound when
someone punches the stomach. This can be produced by slightly opening
the mouth and releasing the air from the vocal chords.

Examples: but sun rub cud
