Коротко: в Task 1 нужно поставить существительные во множественное число, в Task 2 — выбрать правильную форму, а Task 3 у тебя обрезан после «Correc…». Скорее всего, там задание «Correct the mistakes» — исправь ошибки в предложениях.
Task 1. Plural form
| Единственное число | Множественное число |
|---|---|
| Book | books |
| Cat | cats |
| Bus | buses |
| Box | boxes |
| Baby | babies |
| Boy | boys |
| Family | families |
| Watch | watches |
| City | cities |
| Dish | dishes |
| Woman | women |
| Child | children |
| Man | men |
| Tooth | teeth |
| Knife | knives |
| Sheep | sheep |
| Mouse | mice |
| Person | people |
| Tomato | tomatoes |
| Foot | feet |
Почему так
Обычно просто добавляем -s:
book → books, cat → cats.После -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x добавляем -es:
bus → buses, box → boxes, watch → watches, dish → dishes.Если перед -y стоит согласная, то y → ies:
baby → babies, family → families, city → cities.
Но после гласной просто -s: boy → boys.Некоторые слова на -f / -fe меняют окончание:
knife → knives.Исключения нужно запомнить:
woman → women, child → children, man → men, tooth → teeth, foot → feet, mouse → mice, person → people, sheep → sheep.
Task 2. Choose the correct answer

Проверка-ловушки: не boxs, а boxes; не babys, а babies; не mans, а men; не knifes, а knives; не mouses, а mice.
В Task 3 нужно исправить неверные формы существительных в предложениях. Но сами предложения в условии обрезаны — пришли их полным текстом, и я помогу проверить.
