QUÉ SIGNIFICA PLURAL EN INGLÉS

Plural

Plural

El plural, en muchos idiomas, es uno de los valores de la categoría gramatical del número. Las formas plurales de sustantivos típicamente denotan una cantidad distinta de la cantidad predeterminada representada por un sustantivo, que es generalmente uno. Más comúnmente, por lo tanto, los plurales se utilizan para denotar dos o más de algo, aunque también pueden indicar cantidades fraccionales, cero o negativas. Un ejemplo de plural es la palabra inglesa cats, que corresponde al singular cat. La pluralidad es un universal lingüístico, representado varias veces entre las lenguas como una palabra separada, un afijo, o por otras indicaciones morfológicas tales como el estrés o marcadores implícitos / contexto. Las palabras de otros tipos, como los verbos, adjetivos y pronombres, también tienen frecuentemente formas plurales distintas, que se utilizan de acuerdo con el número de sus sustantivos asociados. Algunos idiomas también tienen un sistema dual u otro de categorías numéricas. Sin embargo, en inglés y en muchos otros idiomas, singular y plural son los únicos números gramaticales, excepto los posibles restos del dual en los pronombres como ambos y cualquiera.

The plural, in many languages, is one of the values of the grammatical category of number. Plural forms of nouns typically denote a quantity other than the default quantity represented by a noun, which is generally one. Most commonly, therefore, plurals are used to denote two or more of something, although they may also denote fractional, zero or negative amounts. An example of a plural is the English word cats, which corresponds to the singular cat. Plurality is a linguistic universal, represented variously among the languages as a separate word, an affix, or by other morphological indications such as stress or implicit markers/context. Words of other types, such as verbs, adjectives and pronouns, also frequently have distinct plural forms, which are used in agreement with the number of their associated nouns. Some languages also have a dual or other systems of number categories. However, in English and many other languages, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers, except for possible remnants of the dual in pronouns such as both and either.
