This video introduces teachers to an easy method for teaching when to use the suffix -es instead of -s, by focusing on syllables. By listening for an extra syllable (for example, buzz becomes buzzes), students can apply this rule with ease, reducing cognitive load.

In this video, teachers will learn strategies to reinforce the suffixing convention change y to i when attaching suffixes to bases ending in y and preceded a consonant. Through word sums like fuzzier and tries, teachers will see practical ways to guide students in applying this convention and understanding when to use -es instead of -s.
