Meanings & Examples of Singular Noun and Plural Noun
SINGULAR NOUN & PLURAL NOUN – Here are the meanings of singular nouns and plural nouns and as well as some examples.
One of the most common term in the English subject is “noun“. It is one of the eight(8) parts of speech and is usually discussed first before all the other parts.
The noun refers to a name of person, place, thing, event, animal, or idea. It may start with a capital letter if it is a proper noun or a name of specific person, brand, place, or thing.
Under nouns, there are several types depending on certain classifications. One of them is based on the number of noun.
Under the number denoted by a noun, we have the singular noun and the plural noun. This lesson is usually taught in the later part of the pre-school years or in the early elementary level.
