6. Explain that many nouns only need an ‘s’ added to make them into plurals but
some nouns need their endings changing. Give lots of examples of nouns
ending in a consonant and a ‘y’ needing an ‘ies’ instead of the consonant and ‘y’.

e.g. pony – ponies, poppy – poppies, mummy – mummies, daddy – daddies

army – armies, worry – worries, daisy – daisies, berry – berries, city –
cities, story – stories, cherry – cherries

7. Let the children attempt the worksheet to reinforce the teaching. The words
could be further reinforced through weekly spelling lists.
