Plural noun意思
"Plural noun" refers to the form of a noun that indicates there is more than one of the entities the noun refers to. In English, most plural nouns are formed by adding an "s" to the end of the noun, but there are many exceptions. For example:
- Dog (singular) becomes dogs (plural).
- Book (singular) becomes books (plural).
- Child (singular) becomes children (plural).
- Tooth (singular) becomes teeth (plural).
Plural nouns are used with plural pronouns (like "they," "them," "their") and plural verb forms. For example:
- "The dogs are playing." (Plural noun, plural verb)
- "Give them the books." (Plural pronoun referring to plural noun)
In contrast, a singular noun refers to one entity. For example:
- "The dog is tired." (Singular noun, singular verb)
- "Give me the book." (Singular pronoun referring to singular noun)
