"Singular" means "one", "not more thant one".
In English grammar, we use the singular to describe: (A) pronouns, (B) nouns, and (C) verb.
(A) pronouns
1st person singular = I
2nd person singular = you (you can also be plural)
3rd person singular = he, she, it
(B) nouns
A singular noun has no ending added to it.
A regular plural noun (i.e. "more than one") ends with -s.
Ex: one girl (singular), two girls
(C) verb
A regular verb has -s in the 3rd person singular of the present simple tense. In the plural, the verb has no ending added to it.
Ex: A dog barks. Dogs bark.
