Suffix -S & -ES: Making Nouns Plural & Verbs Sing - A Literacy Essential!

Welcome, literacy teachers!! 👋 Let's simplify the rules for suffix -S and suffix -ES -- two of the most frequently used suffixes in English! ➡️ Remember, a suffix is a meaningful word part (a morpheme) that attaches to the end of a base word, changing its meaning or grammatical function. Suffix -S and -ES are variations of the same morpheme, sharing the same core meanings but with different spelling rules! ⭐️ Discover the "jobs" of suffix -S and -ES: 1. Making Nouns Plural: Learn how these suffixes show "more than one" (e.g., "dog" to "dogs," "fox" to "foxes"). 2. Creating Third-Person Singular Verbs: Understand their role in sentences like "I jump" vs. "he jumps". ⭐️ How do you know whether to use -S or -ES? • Use -ES: When the base word ends with "hissing sounds" like /s/, /z/, /ch/, /sh/, /j/, or the letter 'x' (e.g., "faxes," "passes," "buzzes," "fishes," "riches," "judges," "taxes"). The -ES suffix actually creates an extra syllable here! • Use -S: For base words ending in any other letter (e.g., "hats," "cheeks"). You'll also explore the different sounds these suffixes can make: -S can say /s/ (unvoiced, like in "cats") or /z/ (voiced, like in "dogs," "turtles"). ⭐️ Suffix -s and -es worksheets, posters, and more: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/P...
