Hey there!
Yes, there is a singular form for oxen, and it is simply "ox". The word "oxen" is actually the plural form of "ox".

This can be a bit confusing because many words in English follow a pattern where the singular form is made plural by adding an "-s" or "-es" at the end, such as "dog" becoming "dogs" or "bus" becoming "buses". However, "ox" is an exception to this pattern.

It's important to remember that English is a constantly evolving language, and there are many rules and exceptions to those rules. So, it's okay to make mistakes and learn from them!

I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any other language-related questions.
