What noun has no plural?

Answer 1

A noun without a plural is one in which the singular and the plural are the same for example

Sheep

research

Many abstract concepts (bravery, patriotism) fall under this category.

Further more, most specific locations are nouns that are never plural, such as France, Chicago, or Stonehenge.

Answer 2

There are two groups of nouns that have no singular form.

Words for pairs, called binary nouns; for example, the singular is pants, the plural is two pairs of pants. Others are:

• shorts
• trousers
• briefs
• jeans
• pajamas
• scissors
• shears
• tongs
• forceps
• tweezers
• binoculars
• glasses

Aggregate nouns; some end in -s, but are used as singular or plural:

• accommodations
• communications
• mathematics
• congratulations
• information
• knowledge
• crossroads
• headquarters
• gallows
• means
• thanks
• goods

Answer 3

Yes, there are a number of nouns that are spelled the same in the singular and plural. Some examples of nouns that do not change from the singular to plural form are:

• bison
• bread*
• caribou
• cold
• deer
• fish
• fruit*
• jeans
• meat*
• moose
• offspring
• pants
• pliers
• reindeer
• salmon
• salt*
• scissors
• seaweed
• series
• sheep
• species
• sugar*
• trousers
• trout

*Note: Some uncountable nouns for substances have a plural form that is reserved for 'types of' or 'kinds of'. For examples 'a selection of teas, black, green, or jasmine'; 'a choice of meats, beef, pork, or lamb'.

Answer 4

Everything but nouns.

-------------------------------------------------------

Some nouns have the same form whether they are singular or plural. Here are some just off the top of my head:

sheep, deer, barracks, means, politics, cod

Sometimes, nouns do have a plural form, but the plural has a different meaning:

iron (meaning "the chemical element with atomic number 26" this word is always singluar, but you can have "many irons in the fire).

glass (the stuff used to make windows is singular, but you can say "I wear glasses" even if they're made from plastic)

sugar (what you buy at the grocery is in singular form, but "sucrose can be broken down into two simple sugars by hydrolysis")

Likewise, "wood," "air," and "fish"

There are some nouns that are hard to imagine as plural:

"prudence," "wisdom," "gravitas," "panache," "verve," "stupidity" and "redness"

And there are some that don't lend themselves to a singular form:

"scissors," "pants," and "thanks"

Answer 5

Words that have no plural are called mass nouns or non-count nouns. Some examples are fruit, juice, coffee, advice, time, furniture, luggage, information.

The above answer is slightly incorrect.

Advice, time, furniture, luggage, and information are examples of 'non-count nouns' because the same word is used in reference to one or many of the particular item.

I need advice regarding the use of nouns. I have received lots of advice.

I only found one piece of information. I have lots of information.

Similarly with furniture or luggage, the same word is used whether referring to the item as singular or plural.

Air and fish are also examples of non-count nouns.

I caught one fish today. I hope to catch about 30 fish on the weekend.

Air cannot be counted. Reference to air is neither singular or plural.

'Count nouns' refer to those things which have different words to distinguish between singular and plural references.

I washed my dish. I washed all of the dishes.

I live in a continent. I am going to three different continents for my next holiday.

Some words can be 'a count noun' or 'a non-count noun', depending on sentence structures. Fruit and juice are examples of such words.

I want a glass of fruit juice.

They sell a variety of fruit juices

This drink is made using the juice from different fruits and vegetables.

My drink is made from a blend of fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

We cut up a variety of fruits for the fruitsalad.

I want a strong tea or coffee.

The coffees are on the top shelf, the teas are on the bottom shelf. (Reference to blend, flavour, brand etc)

I drank lots of coffee today.

I've had six coffees already.
