    A subject in a sentence is singular,  if it refers to one person, place, or thing. However, a subject is plural,  if it refers to more than one person, place, or thing.

    Another way to identify the subject as singular or plural, is by looking at the pronoun used. Singular nouns often do not end in '-s', while plural nouns usually do.

    Examples:

    • The child plays in the garden. (Singular)
    • The children play in the garden. (Plural)
