IRREGULAR PLURAL NOUNS (TOOTH/TEETH)

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to our first Monday lesson in March.

This week we are looking at Irregular Plural Nouns. These are nouns that do not follow the normal patterns when we change from a singular to a plural form. 

In most cases, the plural is formed by adding an -s or an -es to the end of the word.

Dog --> dogs
Church --> churches

The first irregular plural noun we are looking at is TOOTH / TEETH. TOOTH is singular and TEETH is plural. It is irregular because we are not adding an -s or en -es to TOOTH, but rather we are changing the vowels. 

Example 1: My baby got his first tooth today. 

Example 2: How many teeth does your baby have?

Example 3: I chipped my tooth. 

Example 4: You should brush your teeth after every meal. 

That's it for today. Tomorrow we will look at another irregular plural noun. We'll see you then.
