Singular And Plural Nouns

The Noun-Forms Of Singular Nouns & Plural Nouns — as-well-as the Plural-Form of Irregular Nouns

o re-cap from The Previous Post About “Nouns” — the Word “Noun” is a Grammatical Term which is used in both Traditional Grammar and The Grammar Of The Common Tongue.

n Traditional Grammar — they are considered to be one of the “Parts Of Speech” or “Word-Classes”.  In The Grammar Of The Common Tongue — they are one of the “Base Grammatical Units”.  “Nouns” are the types of Words that are used to refer to…

“B. A. Baracas” (the guy in the picture above) is a “Person”
(and an “Entity”…  Because he is fictional)

“Hell” is supposedly a “Place”
(or an “Idea”)

“The Shake-Weight” is an “Object”
(quite-possibly the greatest “Object” ever created!!!)

“The End Of The World” is an “Event”
(one which some people are greatly looking forward to!)

“Faith” is an “Idea”
(or at-least an action of the Mind)

hen there is only one of the “Things” that the Noun is referring-to — we say that the Noun is “Singular” — it is a “Singular Noun”.  When there is more than one of those “Things” — we say that the Noun is “Plural” — it is a “Plural Noun”.

hen Nouns are “Plural-Form” they must be spelled differently so that they are recognizable.  USUALLY (depending on the spelling of the Noun) — we simply add an “-s” or an an “-es” ending to the Noun.

here are some Nouns which have a much different spelling when they are changed from Singular to Plural form.  These Nouns are usually called “Irregular Nouns” — and are sometimes (incorrectly) referred to as “Irregular Plurals”.

here are is yet another type of Irregular-Noun.  And — although some people might not even consider these to fit under the classification of “Irregular-Nouns” — they absolutely are (just by the definition of the word “irregular” alone).  These are Nouns, whose form does not change at all, between Singular- & Plural-Form (which certainly IS irregular).
