Read and choose 1this is mary's baby/babies. 2where are the glass/glasses? 3whose is this box/boxes? 4bring me dish/dishes. 5i've got two shlf/shelves in my room.

Here are the correct choices for each sentence based on English grammatical rules regarding singular and plural nouns. Correct Choices

1. This is Mary's baby.
   • Reason: The word "this" is singular, so the noun must also be singular (baby). If it were plural, the sentence would start with "These are."
2. Where are the glasses?
   • Reason: The verb "are" is plural. Therefore, we use the plural form glasses. Additionally, "glasses" (spectacles) is always plural, whereas "glass" (the material) is uncountable and would use "is."
3. Whose is this box?
   • Reason: The demonstrative pronoun "this" and the verb "is" are both singular. Therefore, you must use the singular noun box.
4. Bring me dishes.
   • Reason: In English, we do not use a singular countable noun like "dish" without an article (a/the). Since there is no article, the plural dishes is the only grammatically correct option.
5. I've got two shelves in my room.
   • Reason: The number "two" requires a plural noun. For nouns ending in -f or -fe, we usually change the ending to -ves to form the plural (shelf $$ shelves).
