Singular

Updated: 03/05/2023 by Computer Hope

With grammar, singular is a word that often does not end with "s" and refers to only one. For example, the word "computer" is singular and only describes one computer. However, "computers" is plural and describes more than one computer.

Note

Be cautious with words like "headphones" as it is a single device with two headphones (left and right ear). In this example, "headphones" is both singular and plural.
