Singular and Plural

 

noun names an object, person or place.

When a noun is singular, it means there is one of them. When a noun is plural it means there is more than one.

 

'Dog', 'balloon' and 'table' are singular nouns because there is only one of each of them. 

 

If these nouns were plural, it would mean there were more than one of them. An 's' would be added to the end of each word to make the words 'dogs', 'balloons' and 'tables'.
