Spelling List 2: Plurals with -s and -es — Answers

Part A: Your words

A plural means more than one. Most words just add -s (cat → cats). If a word ends in s, x, ch or sh, we add -es so it is easier to say (box → boxes, dish → dishes). Trace and write each word, then underline the ending.

1.cats
2.dogs
3.trees
4.boxes
5.foxes
6.buses
7.glasses
8.dishes
9.wishes
10.brushes
11.benches
12.watches
