What is singular and plurals?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 3

With 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.
