A singular noun is a word for one person, place, or thing.

A plural noun is a word for more than one person, place, or thing.

Example sentences:
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)

Plural or singular verbs are not important for conjunctions. They are only important for the subjects of a sentence and conjunctions are not subjects.eg.He walks through the park everyday.he = singular subject, walks = verb through = conjunction.They walk through the park every day.they = plural subject, walk = verb, through = conjunction.Notice the form of the verb for the singular subject - verb + s. Also notice the conjunction remains the same for both sentences.
