A) Yes
B) No

Answer 1

Hint: Plural of a noun means ‘more than one’. It is the opposite of singular. In the above question we have to see if the plural of the word ‘fountain pen’ is fountain pen or not. For that, we need to understand the rules related to converting a word from singular to plural.

Complete answer:
No, the plural of ‘fountain pen’ is not fountain pens. The correct answer is option b.

The word ‘fountain’ in fountain pen only tells the type of pen it has nothing to do with the plural or singular form of the noun.

Plural of the noun pen is ‘pens’. Therefore, plural of fountain pen will be fountain pens. So the given statement is incorrect.

It is a regular noun therefore in order to make it plural we simply add ‘s’ to the noun.

Note: It is important to understand that only nouns have plural forms and any word that is added before the noun word which qualifies it or quantifies it or tells how the noun acts, does not have to be converted into plural.
