A noun is a word that describes an object, person, or location. Singular nouns indicate that there is only one of them. When a noun is a plural, it signifies that there are multiples of it.

The noun 'goggles' is an uncountable noun, a type of binary noun, a word denoting something made up of two components; a contraction of 'a pair of'.
- A pair of goggles is the singular form.
