[00:-8.00]one place   two places    many places

[00:10.00]When a noun ends with an S sound,as in place,or a Z sound,as in size,
[00:11.00]you add in IZ sound to the end to make it plural.
[00:12.00]Here are some examples:size becomes sizes;dress becomes dresses.
[00:13.00]When a noun ends with a sound as in page,
[00:14.00]or a sound,as in match,you and an IZ sound to make it plural.

[00:16.00]Then second plural ending is the S sound,as in one skirt,two skirts.
[00:17.00]Listen and repeat.
[00:18.00]one skirt            two skirts           many skirts
[00:19.00]one sock             two socks            many socks

[00:21.00]one hat              two hats             many hats

[00:23.00]When a noun ends with a T sound,as in skirt,a K sound,as in sock;
[00:24.00]or a P sound,as in cup,add an S sound to the end to make the plural.
[00:25.00]Here are some examples:skirt becomes skirts;
[00:26.00]sock becomes socks:hat becomes hats;cup becomes cups.
[00:27.00]The third plural ending is the Z sound,as in one sweater,two sweaters.
