BOOK FIVE, LESSON ONE

N: Lesson One.
We are going to practice the pronunciation of plural nouns. Notice there are three different pronunciations for the plural ending s. Listen.
F:    one dress    two dresses
one skirt two skirts
one sweater two sweaters
N: Notice that the first noun, dresses, has an IZ ([iz]) sound, which becomes a separate syllable: dress, dresses. Listen and repeat.
M: one dress two dresses
many dresses
one page two pages
many pages
one blouse two blouses
many blouses
one place two places
many places
one size two sizes
many sizes
one match two matches
many matches
N: When a noun ends with an S sound, as in place, or a Z sound, as in size, you add an IZ ([iz]) sound to the end to make it
plural.
Here are some examples: size becomes sizes; dress becomes dresses.
When a noun ends with a [dz] sound as in page, or a [ts] sound, as in match, you add an IZ ([iz]) sound to make it plural.
Here are some examples: page becomes pages; match becomes matches.
The second plural ending is the S sound, as in one skirt, two skirts. Listen and repeat.
F:    one skirt    two skirts
many skirts
one sock two socks
many socks
one week two weeks
many weeks
one hat two hats
many hats
one cup two cups
many cups
N: When a noun ends with a T sound, as in skirt; a K sound, as in sock; or a P sound, as in cup, add an S sound to the end to

make the plural.
Here are some examples: skirt becomes skirts; sock becomes socks; hat becomes hats; cup becomes cups.
The third plural ending is the Z sound, as in one sweater, two sweaters. Listen and repeat.

many shoes
one hotel two hotels
many hotels
one job two jobs

one color two colors
