Usage & Nuances
'Feet' is always plural; 'foot' is singular. Used for both body parts and measurements (e.g., 'six feet tall,' 'my feet are cold'). In measurement, 'a foot' is about 30 centimeters. Not the same as 'leg' (upper part) or 'shoes' (what you wear). Common idioms: 'get cold feet' (get nervous), 'sweep off your feet' (impress greatly).
