What is a noun?
A noun is a word that you only use for naming people, places, things, animals! It functions as a subject, object of a preposition.
Plural vs. Singular
Plural forms of a noun have usually an -s at the end of the word. But there is another irregular form that hasn´t got the -s at the end.
Ex:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| fish | fish |
| tooth | teeth |
| man | men |
| woman | women |
I don’t undestand what you mean with the sentence “It functions as a subject, object of a preposition.”
Could you explain this sentence in other words.
I don’t like, that you only show examples of irregular plural forms.
I can´t remove it sry!
there is no “it functions” you have to use it works….
sry it was my first grammer explanation!!!!! So I can do it better, the next time
I think our target group will not understand “subject, object of a preposition”. Try to edit your article in the dashboard.
While you are at it you might insert what happens if you add an -s to some words where singular and plural are the same (fishes, peoples,…).
Mind that there are also words that do not have a singular (e.g. Information).
Keep up the good work
