Nominative plural assessment

Build the form, then check spelling, plural stem, and stress.

  • Assessment
  • Form the plural: кни́га, шко́ла, неде́ля.
  • Form the plural: стол, врач, музе́й.
  • Form the plural: окно́, мо́ре, зда́ние.
  • Give the lexical plurals: го́род, учи́тель, друг.
  • Give the suppletive plurals: челове́к, ребёнок.
  • Explain why *у́лици and *кни́гы are both wrong, but for different spelling reasons.
  • Answers and explanations
  • кни́ги, шко́лы, неде́ли.
  • столы́, врачи́, музе́и.
  • о́кна, моря́, зда́ния.
  • города́, учителя́, друзья́.
  • лю́ди, де́ти.
  • у́лица normally takes -ы after ц: у́лицы. After г, expected -ы is spelled -и: кни́ги.
  • Ready signal: Continue when you can separate a regular ending, a spelling adjustment, a lexical plural ending, and a genuinely irregular stem.
