2. Add -s or -es to make the naming words more than one.

B. Can you please bring 4 glass_ of water?
3. Correct the sentences which have underlined mistakes.

Answer (2)
To make singular naming words plural, we generally add '-s' or '-es' at the end of the word. Here’s how it works for the questions you've asked:
In question 2, you need to determine which ending to use for the naming words provided:
A. I have 4 pencil_.
The word 'pencil' becomes plural by adding '-s', making it 'pencils'.
Correct sentence: I have 4 pencils.
B. Can you please bring 4 glass_ of water?
The word 'glass' becomes plural by adding '-es' since it ends with 's', making it 'glasses'.
Correct sentence: Can you please bring 4 glasses of water?
In question 3, you need to correct grammatical mistakes:
A. Riya wants to eat an apples.
The sentence uses 'an', which is used before words starting with a vowel sound. Since 'apples' is plural, 'an' should be removed, or the noun should be singular: 'Riya wants to eat an apple.'
Correct sentence: Riya wants to eat an apple.
B. There are 5 bus outside the school.
Here, 'bus' should be in its plural form, 'buses'.
Correct sentence: There are 5 buses outside the school.
To make words plural, add '-s' or '-es' as needed. Corrections to the example sentences involve changing 'pencil' to 'pencils' and 'glass' to 'glasses'. The errors in both sentences involve the use of 'an' and incorrect plurals, which should be fixed for clarity.
