Body-part words for clear everyday descriptions
Learn a body-part noun with a simple location or action. A labelled illustration helps connect the word to its intended area.
Use the pattern in context
Start with head, hand, arm, leg and foot. Use a possessive when talking about a particular person: my hand, her foot. Notice irregular plurals such as feet and teeth. A precise everyday description can identify a location: My left hand is cold. The picture deck below is a vocabulary reference, and the grammar links explain possessives and plurals.
Examples to compare
- Possessive: My hand is cold.
- Irregular plural: My feet are wet.
- Location: The glove is on her left hand.
Limits and useful distinctions
A word label is not a medical explanation or diagnosis. Body images are simplified cues and cannot establish the cause of a symptom. If you use these words in a real conversation, state what you actually mean and ask for clarification when an unfamiliar term is used.
Check your understanding
Complete the ordinary plural: one foot, two ___.
Try a new example with the same purpose. Check that your version keeps the intended meaning and grammatical pattern.
Shared picture-word reference
These labels resolve the same owned-card provider used by the study decks and picture games. A picture is a cue, not a precise dictionary definition.
