Hi there!

Yes, there is definitely a plural for goose! In fact, the plural for goose is 'geese'.

When coming across an unusual plural like this, it can be quite confusing. But not to worry, this is actually a common rule in the English language.

The plural of many nouns simply involves adding an "-s" at the end. For example, "one book" becomes "two books". However, there are many exceptions to this rule, and "goose" is definitely one of them.

So, instead of adding an "-s", the word 'goose' becomes 'geese' when talking about more than one. Other animals with similar pluralisation include 'mouse/mice', 'tooth/teeth', and 'foot/feet'.

I hope this clears things up for you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
