I think mice

　　Are rather nice.

　　Their tails are long,

　　Their faces small,

　　They haven’t any

　　Chins at all.

　　Their ears are pink,

　　Their teeth are white,

　　They run about the house at night.

　　They nibble things

　　They shouldn’t touch

　　And no-one seems

　　To like them much.

　　But I think mice

　　Are nice.

　　Mouse – mice. Nearly all English nouns make their plural by adding -s or -es. But there is a small number of nouns which make their plural in other ways. Mouse – mice is one of them. Send me an e-mail if you can think of others ([email protected]). We will have another irregular plural in the next episode.

　　Finally, a football result. FA Cup third round replay – Manchester United 5, Burton Albion 0. Sorry, Burton Albion. Maybe next year. Goodbye.
