About Nouns That Appear In Plural Only

Here’s a simple conversation about nouns that appear in plural only:

Person A: Hey, have you noticed some words that only come in plural form?

Person B: Yeah, like what?

Person A: Words like “scissors,” “pants,” and “glasses.” They never seem to have a singular form.

Person B: True! I always wonder, is it “a scissors” or “a scissor”?

Person A: Right? But it’s always “a pair of scissors” or “a pair of pants.”

Person B: And don’t forget “news.” You can’t say “new,” it’s always “news.”

Person A: Exactly! It’s interesting how some nouns just prefer to be in pairs or groups.

Person B: I guess they like the company!

Person A: Haha, seems like it. Anything else you’ve noticed?

Person B: Well, “savings” is another one. You can’t really have just one “saving.”

Person A: Good point. Language can be so quirky sometimes.

Person B: Definitely, but that’s what makes it interesting!
