Singular Plural Exercise for Class 6 with Answers: Form the

Plurals

Write the plural form of the following singular nouns, applying the
correct rule.

1. phenomenon - ____________
2. shelf - ____________
3. country - ____________
4. tomato - ____________
5. passer-by - ____________
6. quiz - ____________
7. belief - ____________
8. goose - ____________
9. syllabus - ____________
10. attorney-general - ____________

Answers with Explanations:

1. Phenomena: This is a foreign plural from Greek, where '-on'

changes to '-a'.
2. Shelves: The word 'shelf' ends in '-f', so we change the 'f' to
'ves'.
3. Countries: 'Country' ends in a consonant ('r') + 'y', so we
change the 'y' to 'ies'.
4. Tomatoes: The word 'tomato' ends in a consonant ('t') + 'o',
so we add '-es'.
5. Passers-by: In this compound noun, the principal word
('passer') is made plural.
6. Quizzes: Words ending in 'z' add '-es'. The 'z' is doubled to
maintain the vowel sound.
7. Beliefs: This is an exception to the '-f' rule; we just add '-s'.
 19

8. Geese: This is an irregular plural where the internal vowels

'oo' change to 'ee'.
9. Syllabi / Syllabuses: It has a Latin plural ('syllabi') and an
English one ('syllabuses'). Both are correct.
10. Attorneys-general: In this compound noun, the
principal word ('attorney') is made plural.

Identify the incorrect plural noun in each sentence and write the
correct form.

1. The farmer has many sheeps and oxes on his farm. (Incorrect:
__________, __________ Correct: __________, __________)
2. We need several knifes and matchs to start the campfire.
(Incorrect: __________, __________ Correct: __________, __________)
3. The childs are playing with their new toyes. (Incorrect:
__________, __________ Correct: __________, __________)
4. She bought two loafs of bread and some potatos. (Incorrect:
__________, __________ Correct: __________, __________)
5. The news about the recent discoverys were exciting.
(Incorrect: __________ Correct: __________) (Also consider verb
agreement)
6. Incorrect: sheeps, oxes. Correct: sheep, oxen. ('Sheep' is a
no-change noun; 'ox' has an irregular plural '-en').
7. Incorrect: knifes, matchs. Correct: knives, matches. ('Knife'
ends in '-fe' which changes to '-ves'; 'match' ends in '-ch' and
takes '-es').
8. Incorrect: childs, toyes. Correct: children, toys. ('Child' has
an irregular plural '-ren'; 'toy' ends in a vowel + 'y' and takes '-
s').
9. Incorrect: loafs, potatos. Correct: loaves, potatoes. ('Loaf'
ends in '-f' which changes to '-ves'; 'potato' ends in consonant
+ 'o' and takes '-es').
10. Incorrect: discoverys. Correct: discoveries. ('Discovery'
ends in consonant + 'y' which changes to 'ies'. Also, 'news' is
singular, so the verb should be 'was': The news... **was**
exciting).

Choose the correct form of the noun (and verb if necessary) to

complete the sentences.
