Let’s work through this step by step.

We are given a list of words, and we need to sort them into two columns:
→ Singular (one thing)
→ Plural (more than one thing)

Some words are already filled in as examples:
- Singular: foot
- Plural: feet

That’s helpful — it shows us that “foot” becomes “feet” when plural, which is an *irregular* plural (not just adding “s” or “es”).

Now let’s go through the word box and decide for each word whether it’s singular or plural.

Word box:
> foot, child, ox, woman, men
> oxen, die, children, person, cacti
> dice, feet, geese, cactus, women

Let’s analyze each:

1. foot → singular (already placed correctly)
2. child → singular (one child)
3. ox → singular (one ox)
4. woman → singular (one woman)
5. men → plural (more than one man)
6. oxen → plural (more than one ox — irregular plural)
7. die → singular (one die — like in dice games; note: “dice” is often used as plural, but technically “die” is singular)
8. children → plural (more than one child)
9. person → singular (one person)
10. cacti → plural (more than one cactus — Latin-based plural)
11. dice → plural (more than one die — though sometimes used as singular colloquially, here it’s meant as plural)
12. feet → plural (already placed correctly)
13. geese → plural (more than one goose — irregular)
14. cactus → singular (one cactus)
15. women → plural (more than one woman)

Now, let’s group them properly.

Singular column:
- foot (given)
- child
- ox
- woman
- die
- person
- cactus

Plural column:
- feet (given)
- men
- oxen
- children
- cacti
- dice
- geese
- women

Wait — let’s double-check “die” vs “dice”. In standard grammar:
- Die = singular (e.g., roll one die)
- Dice = plural (e.g., roll two dice)

So yes, “die” goes under singular, “dice” under plural.

Also, “cactus” → singular, “cacti” → plural. Correct.

“Woman” → singular, “women” → plural. Correct.

“Goose” isn’t even in the list? Wait — looking back at the image text:

Actually, in the original word box from the image description, I see:

> tooth, goose, teeth, person, cacti
> oxen, die, children, man, people
> dice, feet, geese, cactus, women

Oh! I missed some words earlier. Let me restart with the full correct list from the image.

From the image (as described in your prompt):

The word box contains:

Row 1: tooth, goose, teeth, person, cacti
Row 2: oxen, die, children, man, people
Row 3: dice, feet, geese, cactus, women

And also, in the example row below, they have:

Singular: foot
Plural: feet

But “foot” and “feet” are not in the main word box — they’re examples. So we must use only the words in the dashed box.

So total words to sort:

Tooth, goose, teeth, person, cacti, oxen, die, children, man, people, dice, feet, geese, cactus, women

That’s 15 words.

Let’s classify each:

1. tooth → singular
2. goose → singular
3. teeth → plural (of tooth)
4. person → singular
5. cacti → plural (of cactus)
6. oxen → plural (of ox)
7. die → singular (of dice)
8. children → plural (of child)
9. man → singular
10. people → plural (of person — though “persons” exists, “people” is common plural)
11. dice → plural (of die)
12. feet → plural (of foot)
13. geese → plural (of goose)
14. cactus → singular
15. women → plural (of woman)

Now, build the table.

Singular Column:
- tooth
- goose
- person
- die
- man
- cactus

(That’s 6 words)

Plural Column:
- teeth
- cacti
- oxen
- children
- people
- dice
- feet
- geese
- women

(That’s 9 words)

Wait — did we miss any?

Total: 6 + 9 = 15 → matches.

But let’s verify each again quickly:

Singular:
- tooth ✔
- goose ✔
- person ✔
- die ✔
- man ✔
- cactus ✔

Plural:
- teeth ✔
- cacti ✔
- oxen ✔
- children ✔
- people ✔
- dice ✔
- feet ✔
- geese ✔
- women ✔

Perfect.

Note: The worksheet says “Write the singular and plural words in the correct columns.” It doesn’t say to pair them — just sort the given words into singular or plural categories.

So final answer is the sorted lists.

Final Answer:
Singular: tooth, goose, person, die, man, cactus
Plural: teeth, cacti, oxen, children, people, dice, feet, geese, women
