Class 5 Noun Worksheet on Singular and Plural Forms – Rules and Exceptions

One or Many? Singular and Plural Nouns for Class 5

This Grade 5 worksheet helps learners recognize and use singular nouns (naming one) and plural nouns (naming more than one). Through sorting, correcting, and writing activities, students will master how to switch between singular and plural forms and apply correct spelling patterns.

Why Singular and Plural Nouns Matter in Grammar?

Singular and plural nouns are a basic part of grammar. For Grade 5 students, they are important because:

1. They teach number agreement in writing.

2. They reinforce proper spelling changes like -s, -es, and irregular forms.

3. They help students write clearly about one vs. many.

4. They prepare learners for subject–verb agreement rules.
