How are singular and plural nouns different?

Answer 1

Singular nouns are usually talking about only ONE thing or ONE person. Boy, girl, house, book, and computer are all examples of singular nouns. They will sometimes be used with the singular article "a"-- a boy, a book, a house, etc.

Plural nouns refer to more than one-- boys, girls, houses, books, computers are all examples of plural nouns. Sometimes, a plural noun will also come with an adjective that tells how many: seven books, many computers, two girls, etc.
