BACKGROUND OF THE LESSON
Noun is one of the eight parts of speech. As for the definition, it is a naming
word for it names something: either a person, place, animal, thing, or idea.
Nouns play a significant role in the English language as basic to sentence
structure because they, along with pronouns, provide the subject of the
sentence.

continue learning! Before we start, please say a prayer.
Let’s get the ball rolling, kid!
Study the following.
What is noun?
A noun is a name of person, place, thing, or idea. It is quite easy to
determine which words name people or places. The words woman, teacher,
and pupil refer to people. The words park, school, and Metro Manila refer to
places.
However, the classification thing is a different matter as it includes
objects, animals, ideas, actions, conditions, and qualities. Study the following
examples:
Person
Place
Thing
Idea
Jordan, Kim, friend, neighbour
school, terminal, house, subdivision
envelope, shoes, umbrella, tricycle
Fear, happiness, strategy, responsibility

They have singular and plural forms. On the other hand, nouns that refer to
things which cannot be counted are called noncount nouns. Unlike count
nouns, these nouns do not have plural forms.

ACTIVITY 3
Know that you are surrounded with love, kid. Wait… Is love an abstract idea?
Hmmm, read it below.
CONCRETE, ABSTRACT, AND COLLECTIVE NOUNS
Study concrete, abstract, and collective nouns on page 14. You can also
read the texts below for additional information.
A concrete noun names something that can be physically seen,
touched, felt, smelled, tasted, or heard. On the other hand, an abstract noun
names something that cannot be perceived by the senses. It is something
nonphysical.
CONCRETE

laptop
alcohol
perfume
ABSTRACT
wisdom
hope
love
leadership
spaghetti
courage
A collective noun names a group of people, places, or things. Examples
of collective nouns are tribe, council, troupe, and team.
Collective nouns can be either singular or plural depending on how they
are used. To determine whether a collective noun is singular or plural, check
how the unit acts. If the unit is acting as one, then it is singular.
Example:
The tribe decides on the laws to enact. (Here, the collective noun tribe acts as
one in deciding which laws to enact.)
If the individuals in the group are acting on their own, the collective noun
should be considered as plural.
Example:
The tribe argue on the rules they want to suggest. (Here, the members of the
noun tribe are acting individually as they are arguing with one another.)
Directions: Write the nouns in the box in their correct category.

ACTIVITY 5
Bravo! You’re done learning the different kinds of nouns. This time, know how to
pluralize regular and irregular nouns.
Forming the Plural of Regular Nouns
A noun referring to one person, place, or thing is singular while a noun
referring to more than one person, place, or thing is plural. Most nouns form
their plural by adding –s or –es at the end. These nouns are called regular
nouns.
Directions: Underline the plural noun in each sentence below.
1. There are seven days in a week.
2. The girls in the class laughed.
3. I brought two apples for lunch.
4. The children were happy on the field trip.
5. The boys watched the movie.
6. We saw many horses at the zoo.
7. The rabbits jumped across the yard.
8. I looked at the pictures on the wall.
9. We shared the oranges with our friends.
10. I had many chickens in my yard.
ACTIVITY 6
Forming the Plural of Irregular Nouns
Not all plural nouns can be formed by simply adding –s or –es. Such nouns
are irregular nouns. These are different ways to form the plural of irregular
nouns.
NOUN TYPE
nouns ending in –us
HOW TO FORM THE
PLURAL
change –f to –v then
add –s
change –f to –v then
add –es
change –us to -i
nouns ending in -is
change –is to -es
basis - bases
nouns ending in -on
change –on to -a
criterion - criteria
change the vowel
or
change the spelling
foot – feet
other kinds
singular and plural forms
are the same
fish – fish
nouns ending in -fe
nouns ending in -f
unchanging
EXAMPLES
life - lives
half - halves
fungus – fungi
child - children
The table below shows some of the most common types of irregular nouns.
Take note that not all words ending with the following would be pluralized using
the same format. This is the reason why they are called “irregular.”
Directions: Underline the correct irregular plural noun in each sentence below.
1. The (women / womans) went to go shopping at the mall.
2. The (person / people) at the conference clapped for the new president.
3. The (men / man) didn’t know how to fix the roof.
4. I saw many (gooses / geese) in the lake.
5. All the (grandchild / grandchildren) were present on Christmas day.
6. The dentist had to take a good look at my (tooths / teeth).
7. The shoes I bought did not quite fit my (foots / feet).
8. I was frightened when I saw the (deer / deers) run across the freeway.
9. All the (homeworks / homework) was due before the vacation.
10. There are forks and (spoon / spoons) on the table.
