Most countable nouns have a singular and a plural form.

to them. 

For example, 

1. a bar of chocolate, 
2. four pieces of furniture, 
3. a tub of butter, 
4. a spoon of sugar.

A noun that denotes one person or thing is said to be in the singular number.

For example, 

1. flower, 
2. cow, 
3. house,

A noun is in the plural number if it denotes more than one person or thing.
