One and More than One — Flashcards

Answer

'One' is used when we talk about a single person, animal, or thing. For example: one cat, one book, one tree. It shows there is only one of that thing.

Answer

'More than one' means we are talking about two or more people, animals, or things. For example: two cats, three books, four trees. We use plural forms for these.

A singular noun is a word that shows only one person, animal, or thing. Example: 'dog' means one dog. We use 'one' with singular nouns.

Answer

A plural noun is a word that shows more than one person, animal, or thing. Example: 'dogs' means two or more dogs. We change the word to make it plural.
