plural noun

Words for many

A plural noun is a noun referring to more than one of something: cats, children, phenomena.

English typically forms plurals by adding -s or -es, though irregular plurals abound: mice, teeth, criteria.

Some nouns have identical singular and plural forms: sheep, deer, series.

Mass nouns like furniture or information generally don't take plural forms.
