English Plural
Learning the English Plural is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you practice the subject, the closer you get to mastering the English language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in English.
English Plurals are grammatical numbers, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers. Here are some examples:
| English Plural |
| Plural |
| my book |
| my books |
| our daughter |
| our daughters |
| I'm cold |
| we're cold |
| his chickens |
| their chicken |
As you can see from the example above, the structure of the Plural in English has a logical pattern. Locate the Plural above and see how it works with the rest of the sentence in English.
Note: Because English has lost its case system, nouns do not have grammatical gender and there is a distinction between the singular and plural forms of nouns. The most common plural marker is the suffix -e, but several common nouns form their plural instead by adding a final -s.
