Plurals with -s and -es — Worksheet Packet (KS1)

Does fox need an -s or an -es? This 10-page printable worksheet packet gives KS1 children varied, themed practice adding -s and -es to make plurals.

A Complete Worksheet Packet on Plurals with -s and -es

Children write the missing plural ending across five themed pages — the farm, the garden, school, the beach and the zoo — completing sentences such as ‘Cows eat grass’ and ‘Foxes hide’. Later pages ask children to circle the words that need -es, choose S or ES for a list of words, and finish sentences using the correct plural, building from guided practice to independent recall.
