Today, we'll learn about numbers and plurals.

These are essential topics that will help you in many everyday situations
◦ like counting objects
◦ talking about quantities
◦ and more.

Let's get started!

• Learn numbers 1-100
• Understand and form plural nouns
• Practice counting and using plurals in sentences

Let's start with the basics—numbers 1 to 20.
These are the numbers you'll use most often.



Exercise:
Say the numbers out loud together. Then, write them down in your notebook.

Now, let’s move on to the higher numbers, from 21 to 100.
Notice the pattern as we go through them.



Exercise:
Practice writing these numbers in your notebook.
Try counting from 21 to 100 with your partner.

Now that we know our numbers, let's practice counting objects. We use numbers to say how many of something there are.

Examples:
◦ Three apples
◦ Five books
◦ Ten pencils

Exercise:
Look at the pictures and count the objects.
Write the number and the noun.

Examples:
◦ Five apples 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎
◦ Three books 📙📗📘
◦ Seven pens 🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊🖊

Next, let's talk about plural nouns. When we have more than one of something, we usually add 's' or 'es' to make it plural.

Singular: One apple 🍎
Plural: Two apples 🍎 🍎

Singular: One bus 🚌
Plural: Two buses 🚌 🚌

Singular: One box 📦
Plural: Two boxes 📦 📦

Rules:

For most nouns, add -s
cat → cats.

For nouns ending in
(s, sh, ch, x, or z,) add -es
bus → buses.

For nouns ending in
y, change y to -ies
baby → babies.

Exercise:
Change these singular nouns to plurals:

1. Book
2. Box
3. Baby

Some nouns have irregular plural forms.

These don't follow the usual rules, so you need to remember them.

Man → Men
Woman → Women
Child → Children
Foot → Feet
Tooth → Teeth
Mouse → Mice

Exercise:
Match the singular noun with its irregular plural form.

Let's practice using plural nouns in sentences.

Pay attention to the spelling and whether the noun is regular or irregular.

◦ There are three cats in the garden.
◦ She has two children.
◦ I bought five boxes of cereal.

Exercise:
Write sentences using the following nouns in their plural forms:

1. Dog
2. Tooth
3. Box
4. Woman

Examples:
◦ There are two dogs in the park.
◦ I have two teeth that hurt.
◦ She packed three boxes.
◦ The women are talking in the café.

Now, let's listen to a short dialogue that includes numbers and plurals. Pay attention to how they are used.

Exercise:
After listening, answer these questions:

1. How many apples do they need?
2. How many boxes are in the car?

Let’s review what we have learned today and do some practice exercises.

Complete the sentences with the correct plural forms:

1. I have two ___ (book).
2. She bought four ___ (box).
3. The ___ (child) are playing outside.
4. There are seven ___ (foot) in the drawing.

Great job today! For homework, write a short paragraph about items in your home.

Include at least five plural nouns.

Practice reading it aloud.

Example:
In my room, I have three books, two chairs, and a few toys. There are also two boxes under my bed.

We will continue learning more in our next class.
