Plurals of nouns denote a higher quantity other than the default amount represented by a noun, which is usually one. Most commonly, plurals are used to two or more of something, although they could signify more limited, zero, or negative amounts. An example would be the word dogs, which corresponds to the singular dog. Take this grammatically correct quiz and find out how many plural forms can you identify.
