PLURAL AND SINGULAR NOUNS

PLURAL NOUNS DEFINITION

Plural nouns are words used to indicate that there is more than one person, animal, place, thing, or idea. The difference between singular and plural nouns is simple once you know what to look for. Here, we take a look at singular and plural nouns, providing both singular nouns examples and plural noun examples to help you recognize plural nouns when you see them.

difference between singular and plural nouns

The difference between singular and plural nouns is easy to spot. When a noun indicates one only, it is a singular noun. When a noun indicates more than one, it is plural.

SINGULAR NOUNS EXAMPLES:

  1. The boy had a baseball in his hand.
  2. My horse prefers to wear an English saddle.
  3. That cat never seems to tire of jumping in and out of the box.
  4. You stole my idea and didn’t give me any credit.
  5. Your mom is going to be upset about that broken lamp.
  6. It’s not difficult to grow a tree as long as you give it plenty of water.
  7. I can’t believe you let your dog stick his head out the window while you drive.
