What does PLURAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
The form of a word used to show that it refers to more than one person or thing.
English usually marks the plural by adding s or es to a word, as in cats or boxes, though a number of common words form it irregularly, as in children or mice. The same word also works as an adjective, so grammarians speak of a plural noun or a plural verb without turning plural into a separate noun each time. Some languages go further and mark a separate dual form for exactly two items, distinct from both the singular and the ordinary plural.
How PLURAL is used
A basic grammar term used constantly in language teaching and in describing the form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs.
- The plural of mouse is mice, not mouses.
- Add an s to form the regular plural of most English nouns.
- This verb takes a plural form because its subject is plural too.
- The textbook lists every irregular plural in a single table.
- Some words keep the same plural as their singular, like sheep.
