D. Presentation of the Lesson

Singular nouns always refer to one
person or one thing. Singular nouns can
refer to general things or more specific
people, places, and things with names or
titles.
A singular noun refers to a single object,
Sure teacher.
Plural nouns are nouns that refer to more
than one person, place, or thing. In
general, plural nouns are made by adding
-s or -es to the ends of singular nouns.

In short, this means that a singular noun

refers to only one person or thing and a
plural noun refers to more than one
person or thing.

more than one person, place, thing, or
idea.
