Which term names more than one person, place, thing, or idea?

• A. Plural noun
• B. Singular noun
• C. Noun
• D. Adjective

Answer: (A)

The form used when talking about more than one entity is a plural noun. A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea, and when there are several of them, the noun typically changes to indicate plurality—usually by adding endings like -s or -es, or through an irregular change (for example, cat becomes cats, city becomes cities, child becomes children). This contrasts with a singular noun, which names one item (such as cat, city, idea). The broader noun category includes both singular and plural forms, but the term that specifically names more than one is the plural noun. An adjective, on the other hand, describes or modifies a noun and doesn’t name multiple items by itself, even though it can express quantity (many, several).
