Unpacked L 1.1 c Standard: L 1.1 Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking. c. Use singular and plural nouns with matching verbs in basic sentences (e.g., He hops; We hop) Unpacked Standard: Students will use singular and plural nouns correctly when writing and speaking. Students will be able to correctly match singular and plural nouns with the verbs (singular or plural) that should be used with each noun. For example, students know that a dog runs, but that I run after my dog. When provided with a list of singular or plural nouns correctly or incorrectly matched with verbs, students will be able to determine which are correctly and which are incorrectly matched. Singular nouns are nouns that mean only one person, place or thing. (e.g., apple, window, doll) Plural nouns are nouns that mean more than one person, place or thing. (e.g., desks, children, blocks) Nouns must match the verbs in the sentence. (e.g., The doll dances. The children play.)
