Ask Plural
(By: MELINDA C. COBACHA)
I ask myself why they say louse for lice
And ox becomes oxen.
Deer will always be deer
And news is always news.
Mumps, can never be mump
Oh no! Don’t say trouser for trousers
Forming plural is not an easy task
It makes me crazy sometimes
Please help me…
I’m so confused… hmmmm
Ask: What are the nouns in the poem?
Are they singular or plural?
What plurals are there in the poem?
B. Developmental Activities:
Presentation: Today, you will learn how to form plural of irregular nouns. The nouns,
lice, oxen, deer, mumps, trousers are irregular nouns. They are irregular because they

f. When a compound noun is written without a hyphen, the plural is formed at

the end of the word.

doghouse – doghouses seashore – seashores
g. When a compound noun is hyphenated, the first word is pluralized.
