The moment when you all groan because this is one of the dreaded topics. I understand, in fact I used to be there. Mostly because I grasped the concept quite easily while so many others were completely confused by it. I will help you however, as this is the point of the blog. There are two forms of words, besides the different forms they may take in different Point of Views. They are Singular and Plural.
Singular- Being the only one of its kind; dinstinctive; unique. Individual. Noting or pertaining to a member of the category of number found in many languages that indicates that word form has one referent or denotes on person, place, thing, or instance.
Plural- Consisting of, containing, or pertaining to more than one. Pertaining to or involving a plurality of persons or things. Noting or pertaining to a member of the category of number, found in many languages, indicating that a word has more than one referent.
In short, singular is the form you use when you only have one of the object in question. Plural is the form you use when you have multiple of the object in question.
