Nouns are words that identify people, places, or things. But how do you make them plural? This article will explain everything you need to know about plurals and how to use them in sentences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, without further ado, let’s get into it:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Forming Plural Nouns<\/h2>\n

The first thing that you have to know is that nouns have two forms: singular and plural. Singular forms refer to a single person, place, or something.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance,\u00a0<\/span>Where is the\u00a0<\/span><\/em>ball<\/span><\/em><\/strong>?\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In this sentence, the word “ball” is the noun, and it is singular because we are only talking about one ball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If we were talking about more than one ball, the sentence would go\u00a0<\/span>Where are the\u00a0<\/span><\/em>balls?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In this case, we only have to add the letter ‘s’ at the end of the ball to make it plural. Nevertheless, this is not always the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at some of the examples.”<\/span><\/p>\n
