Learner: Many feet. Not foots — I remember.
Coach: Good. Look at the picture. One fish in the pond.
Learner: Many fish. It stays the same, right?
Coach: Yes. Now smile. One tooth.
Learner: Many teeth. That vowel jumps.
Coach: Last one for today. One leaf on the path.
Learner: Many leaves. Like the ones under the tree.
Coach: Put them together: one person, two people; one foot, two feet.
Learner: One tooth, many teeth. One leaf, many leaves. And fish stays fish!
