Maya and Emma are packing a classroom cupboard for Monday. They need the words for one thing, and for more than one.

What they are

A noun names a person, a place, or a thing. Singular is one. Plural is more than one.

one book
two books
a pen
three pens

The cupboard

Most English plurals add -s. A number bigger than one takes that plural form.

one bag — two bags
one chair — four chairs
a box — some boxes (next page)

The next pages split the work: the usual -s, then -es and -ies, then the odd ones.
