A comparative analysis is needed between the two languages or known as contrastive analysis to identify their structural similarities and differences so that the material and methods of teaching will be appropriate. Further than that, this paper is aimed to give a clear understanding about how Indonesian differs from English in the sense of its language features, especially in plural form. It is known that the structure of the plural between English and Indonesian is different although some similarities were found. Indonesian learners will find it difficult to learn plural words because in terms of word formation, English and Indonesian are very different. The formation of plural words in English is through the process of affixation, while in Indonesian, the formation of plural is through reduplication and addition of quantifier and number. It is necessary to give more explanations and exercises to learn the plural of English because with a lot of practice, it is hoped that Indonesian learners will start to get used to the formation of the plurals.

This paper addressed the use of the Socratic Questioning method as an attempt to promote EFL students' critical thinking in language learning. It is ordinarily understood that the process of learning the language tends to focus more on how to answer questions rather than how to ask productive, systematic, and directed questions. Questioning as a means to fulfil curiosity is a driving factor for critical thinking activities. Questioning is able to direct the task and define the problem so that it will spur and trigger students' critical thinking. The use of Socratic Questioning and critical thinking methods embraces and encourages the analysis of Bloom's taxonomy integrally since Bloom's critical thinking is assigned as one of the highest levels of thinking in cognitive domains. Socratic Questioning, critical thinking, and Bloom's taxonomy are lines that must be passed in a language learning process in order to achieve the quality of skills which surely depends on the quality of thinking.
