One group of words that have no singular form are aggregate nouns, words representing an indefinite number of parts; aggregate nouns have no singular form. Examples:

  • accommodations
  • amends
  • archives
  • arms (weapons)
  • bowels
  • brains (intellect)
  • clothes
  • communications
  • congratulations
  • contents
  • corps
  • goods
  • intestines
  • measles
  • news
  • species
  • thanks

Another group of nouns are the binary nouns, words for things that are two parts making up the whole, they are a shortened form for 'a pair of', for example:

  • one pair of glasses, two pairs of glasses
  • bellows
  • binoculars
  • forceps
  • jeans
  • pajamas
  • pants
  • pliers
  • shears
  • shorts
  • scissors
  • tights
  • tongs
  • trousers
  • tweezers
