Why is it we say one sheep two sheep never one sheep two sheeps?
Answers:
because sheep is both singular and plural. Saying two sheeps is improper english
because it then becomes a flock lol
It's always just sheep. It's singular and plural.
Because the plural is sheep.
this is like saying one shrimp, two shrimps. it's improper english
Thanks other answer person
my oh my, what has happened to the education system?
Sheep is a single and plural term. Just like "Fish" which can be used to describe one or many. Although saying fishes would b entirely wrong.
Irregular noun. Hasn't got a plural unless we talk about different shorts of sheep. There's also some like this, eg.: fish, deer, buffalo, etc.
I won't hold it against you if you say "two sheep". or "two gooses". or "two mouses". or "two mooses". or. well, you get the idea!
like pat said, sheep is both singular and plural.
Pat is correct. It is another arbitrary decision on the part of the Eglish Language, comparable to the spelling of "answer", which in the interest of good manners, coherence, and avoidance of accusations of baby-talking or illiteracy, must be obeyed. Same goes for deer, fish and some others that I can't remember at the moment.
this is called UNCOUNTABLE NOUN GROUP.so should not use sheeps.One more interest for u that MONEY cant use as MONEYS.Bec these r same group.
Probably the same reason we don't say three fishes (except when using poetic licence).
Becaule the plural for sheep is sheep
its like saying "one deer two deers" deers isnt a word. its improper
I have no idea
