Plural Nouns
Plural nouns name more than one person, place, thing, or idea. There are different ways to
form plural nouns. Look at the examples below to help you know how to spell plural nouns.
• Rule 1: Usually you just add s to a singular noun to make it plural.
paper/papers drink/drinks school/schools
• Rule 2: However, if a singular noun ends in ch, sh, x, z, s, or ss, then you need to add
es to make the noun plural.
fox/foxes bush/bushes dish/dishes
• Rule 3: When a noun ends in a vowel and y, then just add s.
toy/toys key/keys donkey/donkeys
• Rule 4: If a singular noun ends in a consonant followed by y, then change the y to i
and add es to make the noun plural.
baby/babies city/cities candy/candies
• Rule 5: For nouns that end in f or fe, change the f or fe to v and add es.
knife/knives half/halves shelf/shelves
• Rule 6: For most nouns that end in o, just add an s to make it plural. All nouns that
end in a vowel and an o just need an s added in the plural form.
solo/solos logo/logos studio/studios
• Rule 7: Some nouns that end in o are spelled with es to make the plural.
buffalo/buffaloes hero/heroes tomato/tomatoes
• Rule 8: Some nouns do not follow these rules. They are irregular plural forms.
The spelling of these nouns will need to be memorized.
ox/oxen mouse/mice child/children
• Rule 9: Some nouns do not change from singular to plural. These nouns have the
same singular and plural forms.
fish/fish moose/moose headquarters/headquarters
sheep/sheep species/species deer/deer
series/series cattle/cattle offspring/offspring

Verb Tense Review
Present tense verbs show actions that are currently happening.
In order to make the verb agree with a singular subject, then just add s or es in most cases.
Example: The soccer player kicks the ball. The little boy catches fireflies.
Do not add s or es to make the verb agree with a plural subject.
Example: Soccer players kick the ball. Little boys catch fireflies.
Past tense verbs show actions that have happened before the current time.
In order to show past tense, just add ed to most verbs. However, you will need to change the
spelling of some regular verbs before you add ed.
• Rule 1: For verbs that end in e, drop the e and add ed: believed, baked
• Rule 2: If the verb ends in a consonant and y, change the y to i and add ed: scurried,
tried
• Rule 3: One-‐syllable verbs that end in one vowel followed by one consonant need to
have the consonant doubled and then add ed: tipped, planned
• Rule 4: Some verbs are irregular verbs. You do not add ed to irregular verbs in the
past tense. These verbs do not follow a pattern. Some of these verbs include the
following verbs: sang, bought, and went.
Future tense verbs show action that will happen in the future. In order to make the future
tense, add the helping verb will.
Example: She will win the race. It will rain tomorrow.

Capitalization
A capital letter is needed anytime you use the word ‘I’, a proper noun, titles, or begin a new
sentence.
• Proper Nouns
A noun is a person, place, or thing. A proper noun is a specific person, place, or
thing. This includes the name of a person, place, or specific things.
Examples:
o People – Andrew Carnegie, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt
o Places – the United States of America, ABC Elementary School, Atlanta
o Things – World War II, Independence Day, May
• Titles
A title can come in different forms.
o Always capitalize a title that comes before a name.
Example: Mayor John Smith, Doctor John Smith
o Always capitalize the titles of books, movies, and
other titles. However, do not capitalize articles (a, an, the), short
conjunctions, and short prepositions.
Examples: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hunger Games
• The Beginning of a Sentence
Don’t forget to always begin a new sentence with a capital letter.
o When do you use a capital letter? _________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________________
You should always capitalize proper nouns, titles, and sentence beginnings.

Quotation Marks
Quotation marks are used to show exactly what someone has said. When you tell exactly
what someone said you are giving a direct quote. You add quotation marks before and
after someone’s exact words.
Look at the following example. What is different about these examples?
o “Did you know that the Panama Canal made it much quicker to travel the east
coast to the west coast?” asked Mrs. Smith.
o “Yes, I did,” said Tim.
o Mrs. Smith also added, “The Panama Canal allowed American commercial
and war ships to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific more quickly.”
o “The United States tried to remain neutral during World War I,” said Mrs.
Smith, “but eventually America became involved in the war.”
Look at the examples of quotations again. What is different? You should notice several
specifics about writing quotations.
1. Use a comma to separate what someone said from the words that tell who is being
quoted.
2. You usually put a comma before the last end quotation marks unless you are writing
an interrogative or exclamatory sentence.
3. If words that tell who is speaking interrupt a direct quotation, then two sets of
quotation marks are needed. Use a comma or end punctuation after the words that
tell who is speaking. If the second part of the quote does not begin a new sentence
then use a comma. Use end punctuation and a capital letter if a new sentence
begins.

Adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe a noun. Remember, a noun is a person, place, or thing.
Adjectives add description and help your writing to be more interesting.
Adjectives often come before the words they describe.
Adjectives can answer three questions…
• What kind?
• Which one?
• How many?
The words a, an, and the are called articles. Articles are used before nouns or before
words that describe a noun.
1. Use a before words that begin with a consonant and are singular.
• a party, a wonderful day, a panoramic view
2. Use an before words that begin with a vowel or a silent h.
• an interesting thought, an observant student, an hour
3. Use the before singular or plural words.
• the school, the schools, the animal, the animals
Adjectives describe nouns.
