Q1  15
Q1 15

Question 1: I have two ___. I read them every day.

Question 1 options
'Books' is correct because we add -s to most singular nouns to make them plural. 'Bookes', 'bookies', and 'booky' are not real English words.
Q2 15

Question 2: There are three ___ in the garden.

Question 2 options
'Dogs' is correct because to form the plural of most nouns, we simply add -s to the end. 'Dog', 'dogy', and 'doges' are not correct plural forms.
Q3 15

Question 3: To make most singular nouns plural in English, you add -s to the end of the word.

Question 3 options
True because the basic rule for forming regular plural nouns is to add -s to the singular form, for example 'car' becomes 'cars' and 'bag' becomes 'bags'.
Q4 15

Question 4: When do we use a plural noun?

Question 4 options
'When we talk about more than one person, place, or thing' is correct because plural nouns are used to refer to two or more items. The other options describe uses of singular nouns or unrelated concepts.
Q5 15

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:

Question 5 options
  • I
  • in the tree
  • can see
  • five birds

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'I can see five birds in the tree' because 'five' requires a plural noun 'birds', and the prepositional phrase 'in the tree' comes after the noun.
Q6 15

Question 6: Which sentence is correct?

Question 6 options
'She has two cats at home' is correct because 'cats' is the proper plural of 'cat', formed by adding -s. 'Cates', 'caties', and 'catties' are not real English plural forms.
Q7 15

Question 7: A student says: 'I need to buy three ___.' She is shopping for food at the market.

Question 7 options
'Tomatoes' is correct because nouns ending in -o after a consonant, like 'tomato', form their plural by adding -es. 'Tomatos', 'tomatoes's', and 'tomatoe' are all incorrect forms.
Q8 15

Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses a plural noun, NOT a possessive form?

Question 8 options
'The boys play in the park' is correct because plural nouns do not use an apostrophe. 'The boy's play', 'The boys' play', and 'The boy's plays' use apostrophes, which indicate possession, not plurality.
Q9 15

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:

Question 9 options
  • saw
  • on the floor
  • We
  • many boxes

Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.

The correct order is 'We saw many boxes on the floor' because 'boxes' is the correct plural of 'box' (ending in -x, we add -es), and 'on the floor' is the fixed location phrase at the end.
Q10 15

Question 10: My sister loves animals. She has two ___ and one rabbit.

Question 10 options
'Puppies' is correct because nouns ending in -y after a consonant (like 'puppy') change the -y to -i and add -es to form the plural. 'Puppys', 'puppyes', and 'puppy' are incorrect plural forms.
Q11 15

Question 11: Which statement about forming regular plural nouns is true?

Question 11 options
'Nouns ending in -y after a consonant change -y to -ies' is correct, e.g. 'city' → 'cities'. Nouns ending in -y after a vowel just add -s (e.g. 'day' → 'days'), nouns ending in -s add -es, and plural nouns do not use apostrophes.
Q12 15

Question 12: Rewrite as plural: 'There is one dish on the table.' → 'There are three ___ on the table.'

Question 12 options
'Dishes' is correct because nouns ending in a sibilant sound like -sh add -es to form the plural. 'Dishs', 'dishies', and 'dish' are all incorrect plural forms for this word.
Q13 15

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct plural rule used.

Question 13 options
I have three bags.
She found two witches in the story.
We live in two different cities.
He bought four potatoes.
Add -es to a noun ending in consonant + -o
Add -s to a regular noun
Change -y to -ies after a consonant
Add -es to a noun ending in -ch

Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.

Regular plural nouns follow different rules: most add -s, nouns ending in -sh/-ch add -es, nouns ending in consonant + -y change to -ies, and nouns ending in consonant + -o add -es.
Q14 15

Question 14: All English nouns ending in -f or -fe form their plural by changing -f/-fe to -ves (e.g. wolf → wolves).

Question 14 options
False because while many nouns ending in -f or -fe do change to -ves (e.g. 'wolf' → 'wolves'), there are exceptions such as 'roof' → 'roofs' and 'chef' → 'chefs' which simply add -s.
Q15 15

Question 15: Which sentence best shows that you are talking about more than one item you can count?

Question 15 options
'I have four keys on my desk' is correct because 'keys' is the plural form of the countable noun 'key', clearly referring to more than one item. The other options use singular or incorrect forms when a plural is needed with a number.
