A dog is an animal that many people keep as a pet.
The idea
Use a dog for one animal and dogs for more than one. Say what a dog does with verbs such as runs.
Examples
- Our dog sleeps by the door.
- The dog runs in the garden.
- I feed my dog every morning.
- Two dogs play with a ball.
- Her dog likes long walks.
- A small dog drinks water.
