Everyone knows that nouns are declined, that is, they change in cases and numbers. But does the phrase from the song performed by Marina Khlebnikova sound right:

Can I pour you a cup of coffee that invigorates you?

There are exceptions to every rule. So, the word "coffee" refers to indeclinable nouns. It is not used in the plural and does not change by case. The correct usage is "a cup of coffee". The topic of our article will be such exceptions - nouns that have only the singular form. Let's consider in more detail.

Nouns: number

It is not only in mathematics. Nouns also have the category of number. Knowing this means using them correctly both in speech and in writing. Most nouns denote things that can be counted. For this, the Russian language has categories of both singular and plural. The most difficult thing is to understand that there are nouns that have only the singular form, or, conversely, only the plural. At the same time, other nuances appear in speech.

So, there are cases when plurality is expressed by the form of a noun in the singular. An example is the phrase: "The enemy will not pass!". This clearly refers to the enemy army, and not one specific person.

There is a predominant use of individual nouns in the plural:

gossip;
rein;
skiing.

Although this is a part of speech that changes in numbers, and the use of words is quite acceptable:

gossip;
rein;
ski.

The most common nouns that do not have a plural form are:

real;
collective;
abstract;

Let's take a closer look at this using examples.

Designation of substance, material

What are these words? Singular nouns denoting objects with a real value. There are quite a few of them, which is confirmed by examples:

sugar;
milk;
petrol;
water;
asphalt;
cotton;
ceramics;
porcelain.

From these nouns it is impossible to form another form, including the plural. You cannot substitute the endings -ya, -a, -i, -s with them.

Nouns only singular: examples of collectives

The names of sets of identical objects or persons are what we call collective nouns. They bring together those who have some common feature:

students (everyone who studies at universities);
youth (part of the population under the age of 30);
youth (young people from 14 to 21 years old);
childhood (from 0 to 18 years).

Collective nouns that have only the singular form can also refer to inanimate objects:

foliage;
spruce forest;
Flora.

It just needs to be remembered.

abstract nouns

These are words that cannot be represented objectively, as well as counted. These include titles:

quality or trait (youth, darkness, dexterity, blueness);
states or actions (mowing, cutting, fighting, anger, delight).

How to learn to define nouns only in the singular? Examples of tasks will help to cope with the task.

So, you can pick up antonyms for words that, by analogy, also cannot be used in the plural:

running around;
strength;
aggression;
stuffiness;
honesty.

(Answers: walking, weakness, calmness, freshness, lies).

From a literary text in three columns, you can write out all nouns according to the principle:

used in two numbers;
only in the singular;
only in the plural.

Thanks to this, it will become clearer that there are much more of the former.

Features: inanimate noun, proper

The singular for proper names is more common. They are rarely used in plural form. This often applies to surnames, if you have to single out a whole group of people according to the principle of kinship. Example:

Only the Galkins, Lazarevs and Ivanovskys lived in a small village.
The Kuznetsov family was distinguished by enviable health.

If the proper name acts as the only object and is inanimate, then it is mandatory to use it in the singular:

Moscow.
Volga.
Mercury.
Ural.
Uruguay.

This also applies to compound names:

"First channel";
program "Around the World";
Mona Lisa painting.

But this is not a complete list. Of course, these are not all nouns that have only the singular form.

Should be remembered

In Russian, words ending in -mya do not have plural forms. These nouns are easy to remember:

crown;
burden;
udder;
flame.

But the tribe is the tribes, the seed is the seeds.

So, we list the nouns of only the singular, examples of which are presented in the table.

Another condition by which it can be determined that a noun does not have a plurality is the absence of a combination with

Cake Cakes

Among nouns, there are those that have only the singular form. Look at the pictures and compare the captions under the pictures. Please note that sometimes a singular noun is used to refer to many identical items: strawberries, milk, etc.

This is interesting In modern Russian, the words shore, eyes, hands, feet, eyebrows are plural. In the Old Russian language there was a so-called dual number, which denoted paired objects: two eyes, two hands, two banks. If we determine the number of these words in terms of history, we must say that these words have the form of a dual number.
