Common Mistake: Deers
Lots of people think it’s “deers.” Makes sense, right? Most words add s. But not this one.
Deers is wrong. Always wrong.
Only deer is right.
Look:
• Wrong: I saw three deers.
• Right: I saw three deer.
- Wrong: The deers are eating.
• Right: The deer are eating. - Wrong: Many deers live here.
• Right: Many deer live here.
Remember: no s at the end!
Why We Never Say Deers
Here’s why. English has three types of plurals:
- Words that stay same
- Words that change totally
- Words with s or es
Deer? It’s type 1.
Type 1: Same Words
Like these:
• sheep
• fish
• deer
• bison
• moose
• salmon
• shrimp (sometimes)
Type 2: Total Change
- man → men
• woman → women
• child → children
• mouse → mice
• goose → geese
• foot → feet
• tooth → teeth
Type 3: Normal Plurals
- cat → cats
• dog → dogs
• book → books
• apple → apples
• car → cars
So deer? It’s special. Type 1 special.
Is Deers Ever Used
In normal talk? Nope. Never.
But wait. Old books might say “deers.” Science books too. When they mean different types of deer. But that’s rare. Super rare.
Like:
• The country has many deers. (means deer types)
• This book shows different deers. (means deer species)
But you? Just say deer. Always.
Deer vs Dear – Don’t Mix These!
People mix these up. A lot.
- deer = the animal
• dear = someone you love
They sound the same. But different!
| Word | What It Means | Example |
| deer | animal | The deer ran. |
| dear | loved one | Hi, dear! |
Be careful!
