Finally im able to add a tagboard in. Been getting error messages whenever i tried to access cbox previously.

Pronouns, nouns, verbs, adjective and what have you. Didnt even bother matching the terms to the words when i was in school all the way till now. And now im having a hard time explaining it to a kid.

I was having a conversation about 'an' and 'a' with my camp mate while in NS. Is 'an' always followed by a word which starts with a vowel? He said yes. I said no.

And today i had to explain to a kid why it's 'AN honest boy' and not 'A honest boy'. Why it's 'A unicorn' and not 'An unicorn'. Told her its also got to do with the pronounciation, not just the first letter of the word.

3 pieces of luggage VS 3 pieces of luggages

There are many (sheep/sheeps) on the meadows.

I still dun understand why the answer is sheep and not sheeps. Is it coz the word "sheeps" does not exist? How about chickens and cows? Man, how do you master the English Language?
