WORD STUDY FEEDBACK!!!

Here's some feedback about your last word study on plurals:

WHAT WE NOTICED:

You were able to create plurals really well for words ending in o, x and ch.  Great job!
WHAT YOU MISSED:

Remember that you only drop the y if there is a consonant before it.  If there is a vowel before the y, then you keep the y and only add the s.  Let's look at an example:

Journey was written as Journeies.  That's incorrect because there is a vowel before the y.  If the word was Strawberry, then you would drop the y because the consonant 'r' comes before the y.  Then the word is Strawberries,

Also,  you will have to figure out which words ending with f require you to drop the f and add a v instead.  There are many exceptions to this rule.  Many of you wrote chief as chieves which is incorrect.  The word should be chiefs.  On the other hand, you will encounter words like leaf or loaf, which require you to drop the f and add the v (leaves and loaves).  Just keep working at it!

WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Reread the rules for irregular plurals and correct your mistakes.  For further practice, try to find words that end in f and y and write them as a plural form,

Keep up the great work!
