Sorting Plural Patterns Answer Key

This worksheet guides students to categorize nouns based on pluralization rules across three columns: those ending in “-y,” “-f,” and those requiring “-es.” Words such as “lady,” “knife,” and “church” illustrate different spelling transformations. Students must write the singular and plural forms for each, reinforcing the ability to identify and apply multiple pluralization patterns. The structured categorization builds students’ grammatical reasoning, spelling consistency, and vocabulary expansion. It also enhances pattern recognition skills vital for mastering English word forms.
