We are given a list of words. Our job is to determine whether each word is singular or plural, then apply the correct marking:

- ✔ Singular nouns: Circle them
- ✔ Plural nouns: Underline them

Step 1: Understand Singular vs Plural Nouns

- Singular nouns refer to one person, place, thing, or idea.
- Plural nouns refer to more than one.

Common plural forms include:
- Adding -s (e.g., cars, maps)
- Adding -es (e.g., boxes, buses)
- Irregular plurals (e.g., children, mice, men)
