A glove covers one hand; gloves often come in pairs.
The idea
Use a glove for one and gloves for more than one. A pair of gloves has two.
Examples
- I found a glove on the bus.
- These gloves keep my hands warm.
- She bought a pair of leather gloves.
- Put on your gloves before cycling.
- One glove is missing from the pair.
- The gardener wears gloves to protect their hands.
