ESOL / ELA Grammar reference charts about the correct use of the apostrophe S.
The grammar rules everyone needs to know. We look at when to use the apostrophe S and when to only use and apostrophe.

One chart is about the three meanings of Apostrophe S at the end of a word. We focus on the possessive noun.
We look at the following grammar rules:
– Singular nouns NOT ending in S
– Plural nouns ending in S
– Plural nouns that do not in S
– Singular nouns ending in S
– Names of people that end in S
– Apostrophes with two or more people
– No noun after apostrophe S
– Apostrophe S with periods of time
– Decades / Years – No apostrophe
– Plural forms of Acronyms

Apostrophe S is also know as the Genitive Case or Possessive Case.

The objective of these tasks cards is for English learners (ESOL) at an intermediate level to practice and improve their English.

Each task card is a multiple-choice quiz where a sentence or question has a word or some words missing from it. Students need to choose one of four options available to correctly complete the blank space and write their answer on an answer sheet.

There are 100 different quizzes which cover topics such as: do vs. make, prepositions, countable and uncountable nouns, some/any, much/many, tenses (present, past, perfect), homophones, common mistakes (your vs. you’re), adjective word order, comparatives/superlatives, articles, for vs. since, collocations, phrasal verbs, general vocabulary, and more.

A teacher answer key has been created which can also be used by students to check their own work. This makes it ideal as a literary center activity.

You can see all of the questions in this set by looking at each individual quiz on our social media accounts (there is an entire board on pinterest called English Quiz). This set contains Woodward English Quizzes numbered 1 to 100. The difference with the quizzes in THIS resource is that the answers do NOT appear in the bottom right corner and our website addresses don’t appear at the bottom (as they do on social media). Also, this resource contains blank answer sheets for students and an answer key for teachers/students.

I have made it easier for teachers to print with 6 quizzes per page (surrounded by dotted lines for cutting). Another alternative is to project one quiz a day on the board and ask students WHY a certain answer is correct. Doing so will give you 20 weeks worth of activity.

ESL / ESOL Grammar Charts that show the difference between HOW MUCH and HOW MANY in English.

Main Summary Chart

The main summary chart explains how HOW MUCH is used with uncountable nouns and HOW MANY is used with plural countable nouns.

It also explains how HOW MUCH can also be used to mean I want to know the price (with To Be + a singular or plural noun).

The final part of the summary chart explains how the noun can be omitted in the question when it is obvious what we’re talking about.
e.g. A: I need some sugar. B: How much do you need?

There are two versions of this main summary chart:

• One larger version on one page (can be used on a wall or in a student’s book)
• Two smaller versions on one page with cutting lines around them.

I have included this summary chart divided into two parts on separate pages. The first part of the main summary chart on one page and the omitted noun explanation on another page.

BONUS: There is an exercise page with 8 simple questions where students need to fill the blank with MUCH or MANY. There is an answer sheet for teachers or for students to check their own answers.

These charts are ideal for putting on the classroom wall.

These charts look at the spelling rules used when making nouns plural. They cover both regular and irregular plural forms.

Plurals Summary Chart
This chart is a summary of the nine spelling rules that appear below, all in one handy place. It is great as a quick reference guide for students.
Regular Nouns
Nouns where we add an -S to make them plural. There are no other changes to the noun. The example nouns are car, dog, book, house, and apple.
Nouns ending in S, CH, SH, X, Z
Nouns with these endings and where we need to add -ES to make them plural. The example nouns are bus, match, dish, box, and quiz.
Nouns ending in F or FE
Nouns with these endings and how we remove them and add -VES to make the nouns plural. The example nouns are leaf, wolf, life, and knife. There are two exceptions to this rule that also appear in this chart: roofs and cliffs.
Nouns ending in VOWEL + Y
These are regular nouns where we just add the -S to the plural. The example nouns are day, key, boy, guy, and donkey. This chart exists to be able to compare it with the next chart about nouns ending in a consonant + Y.
Nouns ending in CONSONANT + Y
We remove the end Y and add -IES to these nouns to make them plural. The example nouns are city, baby, story, party, and country.
Irregular Nouns
These are nouns that have a completely different plural form compared to its singular form. The example nouns are man, child, foot, tooth, mouse, and person.
Nouns ending in VOWEL + O
These are regular nouns where we just add the S to make them plural. The example nouns are zoo, radio, stereo, video, and kangaroo. This chart exists to be able to compare it with the next chart about nouns ending in a consonant + O.
Nouns ending in CONSONANT + O
We add -ES to these nouns to make them plural. The example nouns are hero, echo, tomato, and potato. We also show some exceptions to the rule where we only add an -S. These words are piano and photo.
Nouns that don’t change in plural
These are the nouns that have the same form in singular and plural. The example nouns are sheep, deer, fish, series, species

These charts can be used for decorating the classroom wall or as a part of literary centers. Some teachers also photocopy these and make a booklet for students.
