複數：規則和不規則（規則、準則和規則的例外）

Creating plurals can be very confusing as there are many rules/guidelines, exceptions, and of course, irregulars.  My aim is to teach students regular and irregular plurals while injecting fun into the lessons.  We will explore and practice regular plurals looking at words that just need an 's', and words the need an 'es', learning to look for the endings of ch, sh, s, and x.  Irregular plurals that need letter changes (y to i, and f to v) will be examined as well.  Words that end in 'o', words that change, and words that don't change at all will all be looked at in this course.  Activities and games to practice what is taught will be used to help solidify the concepts as well as bring fun to learning.

Students can join at anytime as this is an ongoing course and each lesson can stand alone.   We will work our way through each lesson and once the cycle is done it begins again, ensuring that no matter when your student joins they will go through each lesson if they remain enrolled for at least 7 weeks.

Here are the lesson topics followed by a tentative schedule:
Regular Plurals -  When to add an 's' and when to add an 'es'.
Regular Plurals - Adding 'es' to words ending is 's', 'x', 'ch' and 'sh'.
