文法句型
always plural: a pair of galoshes
用法筆記
Always plural — refer to one item as 'a pair of galoshes', never 'a galosh'. The word is now somewhat old-fashioned in everyday speech; many modern speakers say 'rain boots' or 'wellies' (British) for similar footwear. Use 'galoshes' specifically when the boots are worn OVER ordinary shoes, not as standalone footwear.
