What does singluar and plural mean?

"Singular" and "plural" refer to the number of things a word represents.

* Singular: Refers to one thing.

* Example: "cat," "book," "tree"

* Plural: Refers to more than one thing.

* Example: "cats," "books," "trees"

Here's a simple way to think about it:

* Singular: The word is talking about a single item.

* Plural: The word is talking about multiple items.

How to Make Words Plural

Most English words become plural by adding "-s" or "-es" to the end. There are some exceptions, though!

* Regular:

* Cat -> Cats

* Book -> Books

* Tree -> Trees

* Irregular:

* Child -> Children

* Man -> Men

* Mouse -> Mice
