Объяснение
The suffix -lar makes a plural noun from a singular one: o‘quvchi — o‘quvchilar, kitob — kitoblar, bola — bolalar, daraxt — daraxtlar. It is always written -lar. After a number the noun is not made plural: beshta qalam (not “beshta qalamlar”).
Примеры
gul — gullar, sinf — sinflar, qush — qushlar, uy — uylar.
Bog‘da gullar ochildi. (Flowers bloomed in the garden.) Bog‘da beshta gul ochildi. (Five flowers bloomed in the garden.) The second sentence has a number, so «gul» stays singular.
Работа в классе
“The multiplier”: children stick a -lar card onto a noun card and read it. Then they check that after a number the noun stays singular: uchta daftar.
