 Figurative Language
 Word Structure
 Singular and Plural Pronouns
 Irregular Plurals
 Reference Sources

Cause and Effect

that show a cause and an
effect.
 Sometimes a clue word is not
used.
Figurative Language
 Figurative language is any use
of language that gives words
meaning beyond their usual,
everyday meaning.
 Sometimes we refer to
examples of figurative language
as figures of speech.
Figurative Language
 Similes and metaphors are two
examples of figurative language.
 Alliteration, or the repetition
of sounds throughout a passage,
is another example of figurative
language.
Word Structure: Endings

determine the meaning of unfamiliar
words with endings.
 List any unknown words you find as you
read “Wings.”

word, its ending, and their definition

the place of nouns.

pronouns.

Singular and Plural Pronouns
 Pronouns that take the place of
plural nouns are plural
pronouns.

plural pronouns.
 You can be used as both a
singular and a plural pronoun.
Irregular Plurals
 Most plural words end with –s
or -es.

 Irregular plurals are formed by
changing letters or sometimes
whole words.
Irregular Plurals

 Is scarf singular or plural?
 singular

Irregular Plurals
 Some plural words are easier to read when
I know the singular form. When I see a
plural word that ends with ves, I remember
that ves plurals are often formed from
words that end in f or fe.
 If I replace ves with f or fe, I can figure
out the singular form. For example, the
singular form of leaves is leaf.
 Other words, such as oxen, don’t look like
plurals. I just have to remember that the
singular form of oxen is ox.
