When you want to indicate to a child that there is more than one ‘thing’, you tell them to add an ‘s’ to indicate this form of speech. For example one cat but two cats. Unfortunately, the English language is not so simple and there are many different words which require bigger changes to indicate the plural form. This activity helps the Child learn about these differences.
