32 Nouns - Singular Objects with Plural Form

Nouns

Nouns refer to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality.

Some Uncountable Nouns or divided objects’ names belong to the group of Plural-only Nouns.

Plural-only Nouns do not have singular form. Below is a list of the most common Plural-Only nouns:

  • Scissors;
  • Trousers;
  • Glasses;
  • Thanks;
  • Clothes;
  • Outskirts;
  • Fireworks.
  • My scissors are quite old.
  • These trousers seem to be too small for him.
  • Her glasses need to be cleaned.
  • Please send my thanks to your parents.
  • Our clothes were very dirty.
  • My friend lives on the outskirts of San Francisco.
  • We will be here until the fireworks are over.

We use Plural-Only to refer to some uncountable nouns or to single unity, something that is composed of more than one part (divided objects: Scissors, trousers, glasses, etc.).

Some uncountable nouns or divided objects’ names belong to the group of Plural-Only nouns. Plural-Only means that they only exist in the plural form, not the singular. Some examples of these nouns include scissors, trousers, leggings, glasses, clothes, outskirts, thanks and fireworks.

For example:
“My dad bought new trousers.” - “My dad bought new trouser.” = Trousers can only exist in plural form.
