The document provides instruction on forming the possessive and plural forms of irregular nouns in English. It discusses nouns ending in f or fe that can add only -s, change f to v and add -es, or use both forms. It also addresses nouns ending in y, which change y to ies in the plural. Examples are given for each case. The class is then divided into groups to practice forming possessive nouns by matching pictures of nouns to things they possess.

1. Good Afternoon  
PRAYER

2. Motivation:
Divide the class into two groups. Each
group will be given 2 boxes labeled Box 1
and Box 2. Box 1 consists of the pictures of
irregular nouns. Box 2 consists of the things
owned by the pictures in Box 1. Let the 2
groups match the things owned by the
pictures in Box 1. Give their possessive form.

3. Ex. A picture of the policeman in Box 1
and a picture of a whistles in Box 2. The
whistles of the policeman’s whistles
Let the recorder of each group writes
their answers on the board. The group
who writes more possessive forms wins
