Plural Endings "s" and "es"

This lesson consists of words that mean "more than one" which we call plurals.  Adding s or es to base words are the two most common ways to change a base word to become plural.  Sort these words by their plural endings.

Notice that the base word for the plural "eyes" is "eye".  Just an s (not es) is added to make it plural.  Find the base word first before sorting it!

Sort words made plural by adding just an s like "plants" under S.

Sort words made plural by adding es like "inches" under ES.
