Identify the incorrect plural forms in the following sentences, underline them, and provide the correct plural forms:

1. about 2 kilos of sugar
2. 5 large mangoes and 2 kilos of tomatoes

(Note: In these sentences, the plural forms "kilos," "mangoes," and "tomatoes" are correctly used.)

Answer :

Final answer:

The incorrect plural form is 'mangoes' in the sentence '5 large mangoes'. It should be corrected to '5 large mango'.

Explanation:

The incorrect plural form in the sentence is 'mangoes'. The correct plural form is 'mango'.

In English, when a noun ends in a vowel followed by the letter 'o', the plural form is typically formed by simply adding an 's' at the end of the word. For example, 'mango' becomes 'mangoes'. However, for some nouns like 'mango', the plural form is irregular and remains the same as the singular form.

In the sentence, '5 large mangoes' should be corrected to '5 large mango'.

The plural form of 'tomato' is correct in the sentence, as 'tomatoes' is the plural form of the noun.
