Read together
Teacher: Today we play a game. I say one, you say many. Ready?
Learner: Ready! One child.
Teacher: Many children. Good. Now — one mouse.
Learner: Many… mouse? No. Many mice!
Teacher: Excellent. One goose on the pond.
Learner: Many geese. That sounds strange, but I remember it.
Teacher: One man at the door.
Learner: Many men. And one woman?
Teacher: Many women. Watch the vowel change — it is not womans.
Learner: One child has one mouse. Two children have two mice.
Teacher: Perfect sentence. Try a longer one with goose and geese.
Learner: One goose follows one woman. Many geese follow many women.
Teacher: Clear and correct. Tomorrow we will add foot and feet.
Learner: And tooth and teeth? I want more of these tricky plurals.
Teacher: Yes. For now, clap for mice, geese, men, women, and children!
