【分析】
本题考查名词的适当形式，解题思路为：根据句中修饰词判断名词的可数性，结合数量词确定名词形式：①修饰词为three、many、a few等表“多个”的词时，可数名词需变复数；②修饰词为a little、much等时，后接不可数名词，用原形；③注意可数名词复数的特殊变化规则（如辅音+y结尾变y为i加es、部分有生命的o结尾名词加es等）。
【解析】
(1) 句中修饰词为three，后接可数名词复数，onion是可数名词，复数直接加s，故填onions。
(2) 句中a little修饰不可数名词，yogurt为不可数名词，用原形，故填yogurt。
(3) 句中a few修饰可数名词复数，strawberry以辅音字母+y结尾，变复数需将y改为i加es，故填strawberries。
(4) 句中many修饰可数名词复数，potato是有生命的o结尾可数名词，复数加es，故填potatoes。
(5) 句中much修饰不可数名词，cheese为不可数名词，用原形，故填cheese。
【答案】
(1) onions (2) yogurt (3) strawberries (4) potatoes (5) cheese
