5. The Noun : Number
You know that nouns have a singular and a plural. So, we can say that, there are two
kinds of noun numbers :
1. Singular noun 2. Plural noun
Singular Noun
The nouns which talk about a singular person or thing such as ‘party’, ‘cake’,
‘book’, ‘brother’, ‘friend’. They are singular nouns.
Nouns which stand for one person, animal, place or thing are called singular
nouns.
Examples : Balloon, friend, book, gift, etc.
Plural Noun
The nouns which talk about persons or things which are more than one in
number such as ‘friends’, ‘balloons’, ‘stars’. They are plural nouns.
Nouns which stand for more than one person, animal, place or thing are called
plural nouns.
Examples : Trees, girls, tables, chairs, etc.
Plural nouns are formed in different ways.
s’
‘
(A) We add to most singular nouns to make them plural.
Examples : Singular Plural
friend + s = friends
book + s = books
girl + s = girls
