A shoe covers a foot. Describe your shoes and where you keep them.

Use shoe for one and shoes for more than one; a pair of shoes normally has two.
Examples
- The shoe is by the door.
- My shoes are wet.
- A child has one red shoe.
- These shoes are too big.
- I need a pair of shoes.
- Put your shoes under the bed.
