Funny English Language
by Admin Thu Jul 12, 2007 5:57 am
No wonder the English language is so very difficult to learn.
I sometimes wonder how we manage to communicate at all!
We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes.
But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes.
The one fowl is a goose but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may found a lone mouse or a whole set of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why should not the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural wouldn't be hose.
And the plural of cat is cats and not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say Mother, we never say Methren,
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim,
So English, I fancy you will all agree,
Is the funniest language you ever did see.

It's true
English has so many exceptions in Grammer
which makes learning English sometimes a hard task
but if you like it
enjoy it and you will accept all the strange rules and exceptions happily

Thank you for the nice reply my friend....
I think so too. .. the exceptions in the English Language is sometimes hard to be understood... i think practise is the most important thing...
keep on reading... i am collecting many new things... you will see all the new things in a short time but am little busy here... my work is killing me...
