Why is it we use the word sheep for 1 sheep or 3 sheep. If we talk about geese then we know there is more than 1, so should it be 1 shoop and 3 sheep like 1 goose and 3 geese??

'ed' and 's' endings can be pronounced three ways. 'ed' can be pronounced with the final sound /t/ faced, pushed, experienced; /d/ believed, planned, saved; and /Id/ noted, treated, supported. the 's' endings are /s/ remarks, characteristics, sports; /z/ rays, layers, claws; and /Iz/ languages, voices, images. Without knowing how the word is pronounced in advance, is there a pattern to distinguish which end sound we should use?
