Concept DevelopmentToday we will be working with
words that end with a y to write them in their plural form.
Ex. lady boy daisy
There will be two types of plural forms. Some will be regular plurals and others will be irregular plurals.
A regular plural is a word that you add an “s” to at the end.
When words end in a we add “s” at the end to make it
plural.Ex. t + s = toys
vowel and a y,
oy
Non - examples
book + s = books
car + s = cars
Checking for Understanding
TPS – Why did I just add an s to tray to make it plural?
tray + s = trays
Irregular plurals are words that are not typical, usual, or common because they change spelling when talking about more than one.
When words end in a we drop the y and add “ies” to make
the word plural. Ex. strawber + ies = strawberries
consonant and a y
ry/
Non - examples
book + s = books
car + s = cars
Checking for Understanding
TPS – Why did I cross out the y and add “ies” to make it plural?
puppy + ies = puppies
