Form Shift: Mastering Singular, Plural & Irregular Nouns for Grade 6
 

This worksheet equips Class 6 learners to distinguish between regular and irregular noun forms — helping them shift from singular to plural and back with confidence. Through identification, correction, paragraph editing, and form classification, students build accuracy and depth in noun usage.

Why Focus on Singular, Plural & Irregular Nouns?

Understanding how nouns transform in form is key to fluency and correctness. This worksheet helps students:
1. Recognize the spelling patterns in regular plural formation.
2. Identify and correct irregular plural errors.
3. Apply plural rules in full paragraphs, not just word lists.
4. Improve grammatical accuracy in both writing and speaking.

🔍 Exercise 3 – Spot Irregular Nouns 
In 10 correct sentences, students underline the irregular plural nouns (e.g., *geese*, *feet*, *children*).
