Fun in English
We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes but the plural of ox is oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose but two are called geese , yet the plural of mouse will never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a whole set of mice but the plural of house is house not hice.
If the plural of man is always men, shouldn't the plural of pan be pen.
If i speak of a foot and show my feet and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet ?
If one is a tooth and the whole set are teeth , why shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth ?
We speak of brother and also of brethren, but though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronounces are, he, his and him, but imagine the feminine she, shis and shim.
So ENGLISH, I fancy, you all will agree is the funniest language you ever did see !
