Grammatical number is a linguistic category that expresses the quantity of the noun it refers to. It typically distinguishes between singular (one) and plural (more than one) forms of a word. Some languages also include dual (referring to exactly two items) as a grammatical number category. For example, in English: - The word "cat" is singular, referring to one cat. - The word "cats" is plural, referring to more than one cat.
