What this lesson teaches

Some words follow special rules. A group can have one name, some plurals change, and describing words tell more.

Worked example

One 'team' is many players (collective noun). One 'foot' becomes two 'feet' (irregular plural). 'I did it myself' uses a reflexive word.

Practice questions

  1. Name a word that means a group, like 'flock' or 'team'.
  2. Write the plural of 'child' and 'mouse'.
  3. Use a describing word to tell more about a noun.

Algunas palabras siguen reglas especiales. Un grupo puede tener un nombre, algunos plurales cambian y las palabras que describen dicen más.

Ejemplo: Un 'equipo' tiene muchos jugadores (sustantivo colectivo). El plural de 'lápiz' es 'lápices' (cambia). 'Lo hice yo mismo' usa una palabra reflexiva.
