Singular Nouns
A singular noun refers to one person, place,
thing, or idea.
For example, “John" , “river“ and "Paris" are all
singular nouns because they represent a single
instance of their respective categories.
Plural Nouns
A plural noun refers to more than one
person, place, thing, or idea.
Most plural nouns are formed by
adding "-s“ "-es” or “-ies" to the base
nouns form.
