In Grammarworld, which is located somewhere under the ground that normal people
walk on, the difference between singular (the one, the only, the solitary) and plural (anywhere
from two to a crowd) is a big deal. In this respect, grammar follows real life. When the
obstetrician reports on the ultrasound or your date lists ex-spouses, the difference between
one and more than one is a matter of considerable interest.
In this chapter I show you how to tell the difference between singular and plural nouns, pronouns,
and verbs, and I get you started on pairing them up correctly in some common sentence
patterns. I also help you tackle difficult subjects such as everyone, somebody, and
either and neither.
