Irregular Plural Nouns
不规则复数名词
Description
Form and use irregular plural nouns (e.g., children, teeth, mice, geese) in addition to regular plurals, recognising that some nouns have irregular plural forms that do not follow the -s/-es pattern
Mastery Evidence
- Form and use irregular plural nouns correctly (e.g. child→children, tooth→teeth, mouse→mice, goose→geese)
- Identify collective nouns that name a group (e.g. 'a flock of birds', 'a group of children', 'a pack of wolves')
- Correct over-regularised plurals in writing (e.g. change 'mouses' to 'mice', 'foots' to 'feet')
Assessment Prompt
If you point to a picture of several mice or a group of children, can your child write the correct plural — knowing it's "mice" not "mouses" and "children" not "childs"?
