There isn't any games today.
There isn't any games today.
English IS weird.
Can someone explain to me why the plural of "goose" is "geese", but the plural of "moose" isn't "meese"?
Box = boxes, but ox = oxen
Mouse = mice, and louse = lice, but house = houses
There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it.
Haha, I started tinkering around with Danish on Duolingo (free language app), and you may have just explained why I keep getting the articles wrong.Lots of languages do things like this though. For a topical example I am very familiar with (as I spent a year in Sweden after undergrad), in English, we have "a" and "an" which are used interchangeably depending on whether a noun starts with a vowel sound or a consonant sound.
A house
An ox
In Swedish, they have something very similar with the words "En" and "Ett", but unlike English where the words usage depends on the sound of the noun, in Swedish, there's no rhyme or reason, you just have to learn which is correct on a word to word basis.
En fisk = a fish
Ett hus = a house
Or Spanish with masculine vs feminine and el/la.
Yes yes, and a murder of crows is a group of bird of genus Corvus.
Or, alternatively, it's bird crime.
"Isn't any game" or "aren't any games" would be my guesses, but English is weird.
I don't understand why the pas in Je ne parle pas français is necessary, I do not speak no(t) French. I've always thought it's weird
Me too. For starters, it'd mean we made it to the Finals, so that's cool; but taking an old heated rivalry and putting it on that big of a stage would be fantastic.I'd love to play Detroit in the finals
McDavid is easily the best prospect I have ever seen.....everytime he gets the puck you hold your breath (in a good way not in a Sbisa way)
