Tip 19: Singular and Plural in Grammar

Don't be too surprised if your kid could give you the right answer to a grammer question but could not explain why the answer was chosen. Kids pick up the right words to use when they read and listen, without knowing that there are some underlying rules in using those words.

Going on further to instil in them grammatical rules can help firm up their foundation in the language.

Teach them singular and plural usage when dealing with words: "is" vs "are", "was" vs "were", "has" vs "have", and also the exceptional cases of "I", "You", and uncountable nouns like "sugar", "water", "rice", "hair", etc.
