DISCUSSION
Definiton
Singular and plural means nouns that have a singular number, namely singular, and nouns that have more than one or plural are called plural.
If we use a singular noun, then we need to add a , an, or the in front of it. We use the word A for singular words that start with a consonant, an for those that start with a vowel (A,I,U,E,O) and the for more specific woeds.
Regular form plural nouns have several rules in their use. We must pay attention to the final letter of a word to match it with the plural noun rules. Let’s discuss one by one about the rules in regular plural nouns..
Characteristics
Both singular nuns and plural nouns have characteristics that can distinguish one another. One of them, as explained above, is that singular nouns don’t have any endings, while plural nouns get the addition of ‘ s ‘ or ‘ es ‘ at the end of the word.
So, in English , every noun must be followed by articles (a/an, the), determiners (some, any), or quantifiers (much,many, few, little). Articles, determiners, and quantifiers are usually written before nouns. Its purpose is to clarify whether the word is singular or plural.
In addition, the characteristics of singular and plural nouns can be seen from to be “is” or “are”. “is” is used when describing singular nouns while “are” is used to describe plural nouns. So that you are not confused, try chcking this table.
Singular and Plural Types

Some words ending in ‘y’ should be changed to ‘ies’ in the plural:
Some words ending in ‘f’ ‘or’ ‘fe’ should be changed to ‘ves’ in the plural:
