This Grade 2 worksheet digs into tricky f and fe words that change to ves in the plural. Grade 2 learners complete nine fill-in sentences featuring wolves, shelves, lives, knives, leaves, selves, loaves, thieves, and sheaves, then match four singular nouns to their correct ves plurals. Each item comes with a plain-English hint and a short explanation that reinforces the pattern of dropping f or fe and adding ves.
