A teacher is a person who teaches people, often at a school or college.
The idea
Use a teacher for one and teachers for several. A subject can come before the noun: a music teacher. Ask the teacher for help when requesting assistance.
Examples
- My teacher explains the word.
- She is a music teacher.
- Two teachers work at this school.
- The teacher asks a question.
- Can I ask the teacher for help?
- The students listen to their teacher.
