Hello dear students. We will briefly (shortly) look at the use of singular and plural forms of nouns such as "men" and "man".


Is it "men" or "man"? Which one should I use?


A noun is a word that is used to identify any class of people, things, or places, or to name a particular one of these.


Singular nouns are used to refer to or represent only one thing, for example, one man. Plural nouns refer to more than one thing, for example, more than one man is known as men.




Another example:

When referring to an individual then we say "person", but if there is more than one person we refer to them as "people".
