Uses Of Noun:
Nouns are words you use to talk about people, places, and things.
Singular
This is a
book.
This is a singular noun. That means that it stands for one of something.
Plural
And these are
books.
This is a plural noun. That means that it stands for more than
one of something.
English
usually forms the plural by adding an "s" to the singular noun.
Sometimes, though, the plural looks like a completely different word:
|
This
is a
child.
(singular) |
|
And
these are
children.
(plural) |
|
There
is a
man.
(singular) |
|
There
are some
men.
(plural) |
There aren’t
that many words in English that form the plural this way. It’s much more
common to form the plural by adding "s."
Here are
some more examples of English nouns:

house |
