Learn how to use singular and plural nouns in simple sentences.
Aprender a usar substantivos no singular e no plural em frases simples.
🧠 Grammar Focus
Foco gramatical
A singular noun means one person, place, or thing. A plural noun means more than one. We add -s to most nouns to make them plural. For example, ‘cat’ becomes ‘cats’. We use singular nouns with words like ‘a’ or ‘one’. We use plural nouns with numbers bigger than one or words like ‘many’. Sometimes, the noun does not change, but this is for later lessons. Remember: do not add -s when the noun is one. Here are some examples: I have one book. I have two books. She has one apple. They have three apples. The dogs run fast.
Um substantivo no singular significa uma pessoa, lugar ou coisa. Um substantivo no plural significa mais de um. Para a maioria dos substantivos adicionamos -s para formar o plural. Por exemplo, ‘cat’ vira ‘cats’. Usamos o singular com palavras como ‘a’ ou ‘one’. Usamos o plural com números maiores que um ou palavras como ‘many’. Às vezes, o substantivo não muda, mas isso é para lições futuras. Lembre-se: não adicione -s quando o substantivo está no singular. Aqui estão alguns exemplos em inglês para estudar.
