In Modern Hebrew, a Semitic language, most nouns have only singular and plural forms, such as ספר " book " and ספרים " books ", but some have distinct dual forms using a distinct dual suffix ( largely nouns pertaining to numbers or time, such as אלפיים " two thousand " and שבועיים " two weeks "), some use this dual suffix for their regular plurals ( largely body parts that tend to come in pairs, such as עיניים " eyes ", as well as some that do not, such as שיניים " teeth "), and some are inherently dual ( such as מכנסיים " pants " and אופניים " bicycle ").

For non-broken plurals, masculine plural nouns end with ون and feminine plural nouns end with ات, whilst ان, is added to the end of a noun to indicate that it is dual ( even among nouns that have broken plurals ).

English nouns are not marked for case as they are in some languages, but they have possessive forms, formed by the addition of -' s ( as in John's, children's ), or just an apostrophe ( with no change in pronunciation ) in the case of-s plurals and sometimes other words ending with-s ( the dogs ' owners, Jesus ' love ).

This article discusses the variety of ways in which English plural nouns are formed from the corresponding singular forms, as well as various issues concerning the usage of singulars and plurals in English.

* A few English nouns have plurals that are not spelled with a final s but end in an / s / or a / z / sound: mice ( plural of mouse, and for compounds like dormouse, titmouse ), dice ( when used as the plural of die ), pence ( a plural of penny, with compounds like sixpence that now tend to be taken as singulars ).

Certain nouns do not form plurals.

For non-broken plurals, masculine plural nouns end with and feminine plural nouns end with, whilst, is added to the end of a noun to indicate that it is dual ( even among nouns that have broken plurals ).

These nouns have plurals as well, which are used for numbers higher than two, for example:

Verbs do not have tenses, and nouns do not have plurals.

Instead, a phrase that follows the form article-noun -“ and ”- noun, when the nouns involved are plurals, can involve two entirely distinct groups, two overlapping groups, two groups of which is one a subset of the other, or two identical groups.

Examples of regularly declined nouns include third declension neuters, such as opus, with the plural opera, and fourth declension masculine and feminine, such as sinus and tribus, with plurals sinūs and tribūs.

In Latin vīrus is generally regarded as a neuter of the second declension, but neuter second declension nouns ending in-us ( rather than-um ) are so rare that there are no recorded plurals.

In both Indonesian and Malay nouns that are repeated to form plurals can be shortened with the use of " 2 " e. g. kata ( English word ) becomes kata-kata ( English words ) which can be shortened to kata2.

In addition, there are some cases in English where a null morpheme indicates plurality in nouns that take on irregular plurals.

However, the usage of Î in Italian is rapidly decreasing ; most Italians write " principi " for the plurals of both " principio " and " principe ".

Reforms included changing the spelling by removing non-Roman letters such as ĉ and re-introducing the k / q dichotomy ; removing a couple of the more obscure phonemic contrasts ( one of which,, has been effectively removed from standard Esperanto ); ending the infinitives in-r and the plurals in-i like Italian ; eliminating adjectival agreement, and removing the need for the accusative case by setting up a fixed default word order ; reducing the amount of inherent gender in the vocabulary, providing a masculine suffix and an epicene third-person singular pronoun ; replacing the pronouns and correlatives with forms more similar to the Romance languages ; adding new roots where Esperanto uses the antonymic prefix mal -; replacing much of Esperanto's other regular derivation with separate roots, which are thought to be easier for Westerners to remember ; and replacing much of the Germanic and Slavic vocabulary with Romance forms, such as navo for English-derived ŝipo.

Torre ( plurals torri and torres ) means tower in six Romance languages ( Portuguese, Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Italian and Corsican ) and may refer to:

Another sign that Spanish once had a grammatical neuter exists in words that derive from neuter plurals.

Alternatively, if using the traditional French plurals (" Messieurs " for Mr., and " Mesdemoiselles " for Miss ) one may use " Mesdames " ( abbreviation " Mmes.

There is no longer a distinction between nominative and oblique forms of nouns, and plurals are indicated simply with an s. This transformation necessitates an increased reliance on the order of words in the sentence, which becomes more or less the syntax of modern French ( although there is a continued reliance on the verb in the second position of a sentence, or " verb-second structure ", until the 16th century ).
