Number (language)


In grammar, the feature of a noun, verb, or pronoun that denotes whether it is singular or plural. The number of a noun will determine the number of its verb; singular nouns and pronouns usually take a singular verb (‘The cat runs’), and plural nouns and pronouns usually take a plural verb (‘the cats run’).
