Teaching Tip
Plurals
Most languages that have plural nouns have at least one regular formation. English plurals are generally formed by adding -s, as are most French plurals. German plurals are often formed by adding -e or en. However, there are a few languages that do not distinguish between singular and plural nouns. Japanese, Chinese and Korean are among them. The plural concept in those languages may be expressed by adding numerals, or by adding a plural verb form, or by the context. Be aware that students from these language groups may need more support in understanding the concept of the plural nouns, its formation, and use.
