∙ 8y agoWith grammar, there are two kinds of nouns-- singular, which means "one" and plural, which means "more than one." So, a singular noun means there is just one of it: book, dog, house, car, mountain, etc. When making most nouns into the plural, you generally add an -s to the end of the word: books, dogs, houses, cars, mountains, etc. Some nouns have an irregular plural, but that is another story. The point here is that if the noun (a person, place or thing) is talking about only one, then it's a singular noun; if it's talking about more than one (two, fifty, a thousand, etc), it's a plural noun.
