Class nº 10:  13/04

Hello everyone!  Today we will continue working on page 24 of the SB.

Remember that I took the following part of the conversation?

Andy:  What are these?
Brad: They are dictionaries! 

And I said that we use the Determiner THESE when we refer to
 Plural Nouns (sustantivos plurales).

Today we will start learning about the formation of Plural Nouns.












                                                                        PLURAL NOUNS 

Below you will find the rules for the formation of Plural Nouns, i.e how we take a noun from the singular form to the plural form.  Study them carefully and please make all the questions you may have. 

In English, there are some nouns that are irregular, it means that some of their letters change or the word stays the same. Let´s see which are some of these irregular nouns. 

Activity 1:  PRONUNCIATION:  Let´s see how we pronounce the "S" at the end of plural nouns, depending on the final sound of each word. We will do activity 5 on page 25 of the SB. 

When do you pronounce the "S"  as /s/ , as /z/ or as /iz/?

1- as /s/ ↠ examples:    books, shops, cats, myths, cliffs.
2- as /z/ ↠ examples: rooms, boys, pears, leaves, lemons, pianos, etc. 
3- as /iz/ ↠ examples: buses, foxes, brushes, torches, bridges, etc.
