Hooray you have finished the lesson. You should feel proud of yourself. Very well done, great job! Let us recap what you have learnt in this lesson.

• What are nouns?

A noun is a part of speech that identifies a person, place, thing, or idea. They are important to communication, whether orally or written.

Examples of Nouns

• People: soldier, Alan, cousin, lawyer
• Animals: dog, rat, shark, pig
• Places: house, London, factory, shelter
• Things: table, London Bridge, chisel, bag, month, inch, cooking
• Ideas: confusion, kindness, faith, joy

• What are singular and plural nouns?

A plural noun is a word that indicates that there is more than one person, animal place, thing, or idea. When you refer to one thing it is said to be singular but when you talk about more than one of anything, you’re using plural nouns. When you write about more than one of anything, you usually use the same word, but the ending may be different in some cases. A way of forming plural nouns is to add‘s’ and ‘es’ as mentioned in this lesson.

Plural nouns are formed in various ways by adding‘s’ to singular nouns such as girls,

tables, flowers and mongooses

Nouns ending with; ‘s, sh, ch or x’ form plurals by adding ‘es’.

E.g. boxes, bushes, stitches, glasses.

The following sentences contain singular noun examples. The bold type indicate singular nouns.

1. The girl had a doll in her hand.
2. My dog prefers to eat alone.
3. That kangaroo never seems to tire of hopping in and out of the box.
4. A tree requires plenty of water to grow.
5. You should never allow the dog to go inside the house.
