Hello, boys and girls!
My name is Bobby.
Welcome to
our lesson.
And my name is Tobby.
This is our friend Mobby.

3.

Hi, everyone!
Today we
have a guest.
It’s our good
friend Violet.
Hi! Violet, what brought
you here today?

4.

Guys, I’ve come to you, because I want
to invite you to my party tomorrow!
Violet, thank you
for the invitation!
We will come with
a great pleasure!

5.

Oh, I’m glad to hear that!
Guys, look over there!
What’s that?
Oh, that is a mouse!

6.

A mouse?
Yes, that’s right!

7.

Oh, no! I’m afraid of mouses!
Erm, Violet…

8.

Boys, look! There are two more
mouses under the table!
Violet, wait!
Why are you
keep saying the
word “mouses”?

9.

Erm, guys…
It’s because
you have them
in your house!
And I’m afraid
of mouses!
Violet, first, don’t
be afraid!
They are very kind.
Yeah! They won’t
bite you!

10.

Secondly, Violet, you can’t
use the word “mouses”!
It’s a mistake.
Oh, okay, boys.

11.

Oh, I didn’t know that!
Boys, what word should
I use then?
Well… You have to
use the word “mice”!

12.

But boys, to form the
plural nouns we have
to add the ending -s
to the singular nouns.
Am I right?
Yes, you are
absolutely right.
But there are
a few exceptions
to this rule.
And the word “mice”
is one of them.

13.

Oh, I see. Guys, could you tell me
about the other exceptions, please?
Sure, Violet.
No problem.

14.

Cool! Thank
you, boys.
You’re welcome.
All right!
