Hi
I need to clarify the grammatically correct plural of certain mammals. Is it cheetah/s, lion/s, nyala/s, leopard/s?
Thanks
Jeffrey

Though one is inclined to say I see there is lion,cheetah,leopard and Nyala in the KNP !!! Dont use the plural in this case.
But if you said there are 6 lions ,4 cheetahs,2 leopards and 16 Nyala s in the KNP .


confusing

English, as she is spoke!!!!!! Whatever you say, someone will say it is wrong.

Chirinda Have you heard some of the British speaking English Well I think its English though I dont understand a word. !!! and the Americans havent spoken it for years

I have seen 1 Leopard, 6 Wild Dog, 4 Cheetah, many elephant and also Lion today, but very few Rhino, but if you see Leopard, Wild Dogs, Lions, Cheetah, rhino and elephants in one day, it was a good one for animals.

Confusing methinks.

One beer
Then many plenty much beer

The singular just does not sound right

how does one cope with gooses and mooses? I see many geese, do I see many Mongeese

now mouse is a real problem. We have one nouse and many mice.. but how does that translate into computer ligo? I bought a spare mouse and now have two computer mice at home.
