Question

Can you explain to me how this sentence uses cakes instead of cake?

The fresh (cake cakes) tastes delicious

Ms. Sue
Singular:

The fresh cake tastes . . .

Plural:

The fresh cakes taste . . .
Jerald
And for this sentence
The mice (eat eats) all the cheese.
How is it eat?
Jerald
If it was singular would it be The mice eats all the cheese?
Ms. Sue
Mice is plural so it needs a plural verb -- eat.

The singular of mice is mouse. The mouse eats . . .
Quan
Taste
