Single and plural
7 Answers
In English, usually we pluralise an item by adding the letter 's', eg. dog, dogs. But I read a quiz sheet (which didn't have any answers) which claimed that there is only one word in the English language which is singular with an 's' and is made plural by removing the 's'. Does anyone know the answer?
