Question

Which singular-plural noun pairing is correct?

A. mouse—mouses
B. half—halfs
C. sheep—sheep
D. child—childs

Answer 1

C is correct because we say “That’s a fluffy sheep” when singular and “I like those sheep over there” when plural. Also, we dont say mouses, we say mice. We say children, not childs. We say halves, not halfs. So even by process of elimination, C is the right answer.

Answer 2

your answer would be C. sheep-sheep. Every other choice is changed in one way or another. mouse would be changed to mice, half would be changed to halves, and child would be changed to children. Which would rule out all the other options. Hope this helps :)
