English - Lesson 1

There is a weird language known as ENGLISH , not so weird , but better than gibberish . But I have a question of singular and plural , just like the confusion between urban and rural . If foot is feet and tooth-teeth , why isn't boot-beet and mood-meed ?? If louse is lice and mouse is mice , why isn't house-hice and spouse-spice ?? If man is men and woman is women , why isn't pan-pen and tan-ten ?? If chair is chairs and mare is mares , why isn't hair-hairs and air-airs ?? I do have many questions in my mind , and I know there will be a solution some time !!! :p

All wonderful questions Saanvi (to make it even more confusing, hairs can be plural for hair under certain circumstances). You made me smile.

You got it Saanvi. I remember a poem I used to teach to school children _"Let's Face It". You are very close to it. I enjoyed your poem.

I could actually answer a few of those questions grammatically, but that would spoil all the fun of this great amusing poem! Yes, Engish is a very strange language indeed. If we would go to a phonetic alphabet, the whole world would finally be able to at least spell all our words!!

This is another very beautiful and happy poem which i enjoyed my dear friend Sanvi. Thanks a lot for sharing and the smiles. By the way, I forgot to tell you I'm spending my new year countdown with my cousin who has just recovered from breast cancer. She needs my company. Again, wishing you all the happiness also this New Year. Thank u so much for the loving wishes. Biggest hugs! love lots, Leonora
