Why is it two mice but two houses?
Most English nouns just add -s. But a few very old words kept the plural they had over a thousand years ago in Old English, when the plural was made by changing a vowel inside the word: mūs became mȳs, which became mice. House never worked that way, so it got an -s. Match each word to its plural.

mouse → mice, foot → feet, child → children, tooth → teeth, person → people, sheep → sheep. Bonus: one goose, two geese, but one mongoose, two mongooses!
