The terms singular and plural are two types of grammatical number used to designate a word as a word for one (singular) or for two or more (plural).

Examples:

I gave my mom a flower. (singular; one flower)

I gave my mom a bouquet of flowers. (plural; more than one flower)

The boy was eating a hot dog. (singular; one boy, one hot dog)

The boys were eating hot dogs. (plural; more than one boy, more than one hot dog)
