Plural is a grammatical number, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers. In English, nouns, pronouns, and demonstratives inflect for plurality. (See English plural.) In many other languages, for example German and the various Romance languages, articles and adjectives also inflect for plurality. For example, in the English sentence "The brown cats are running", only the noun and verb are inflected; but in the German sentence "Die braunen Katzen rennen", every word (article, noun, adjective, and verb) is inflected. In many languages, including a number of Indo-European languages, there is also a dual number (used for indicating two objects). Some other grammatical numbers present in various languages include trial (for three objects) and paucal (for a few objects). In languages with dual, trial, or paucal numbers, plural refers to numbers higher than those (i.e. more than two, more than three, or many). However, numbers besides singular, plural, and to a lesser extent dual, are extremely rare. Languages with measure words such as Chinese and Japanese lack any significant grammatical number at all, though they are likely to have plural personal pronouns.

3. Kill Two Birds With One Stone When Learning Russian Numbers
October 20, 2008
When you learn Russian numbers, it is easier to learn nouns along with them. For example, you can learn how to say one cat, two cats, etc., so that you do learn more vocabulary than you would by just concentrating on numbers. For those whose native language is English, learning to speak Russian involves a lot of memorization. The reason is that it is not enough for you just to learn the singular form of a noun because of the way the nouns change in the plural form. So if when learning the plural, you associate them with numbers you do kill two birds with one stone.

4. Basic Instruction for French Adjectives
October 13, 2008
Just as in English, adjectives are used in the French language to describe nouns.

5. Marilleva, Italy: Two Resorts of Equal Pleasure

9. European painting - an outdated concept
July 31, 2008
Europe has always been known for its cultural diversity, for being an entity forged by history and geography into a multiethnic and disparate whole, displaying a characteristic plural identity against a common backdrop. Hence, the vast diversity that the European continent has brought to the art of pictorial expression has been remarkable throughout the ages. The multiplicity in unity was the natural outcome of the relative isolation of the different parts and the tempering characteristic of having the same basic conditioning. However, modern times tend rightly to use the term 'European' so... (read more)

The split up rate for gay and lesbian partners is even higher. If less than half work out, why do we need marriage at all? The marriage contract is a three-party contract - husband, wife, and state.

Nor is it simply a question of wars, plural. When removed from its habitual location beneath the Cold war lens, World War Two reveals many other facets. The war had to do, Kimball argues, with economic recovery, growth and the end of the Depression; with the consolidation of liberalism at home and its progressive extension abroad; with social and political transformation; and, not least, with technological innovation, development and revolution. It saw the creation of a military-industrial complex, though not one directed at Moscow, and prompted demands for post-imperial justice, though not wi... (read more)
