Is there a word that refers to singularity and plurality? Is there a word that fits in the following blanks? Q: What is the ( ) of this noun? A: It is plural. Conjugation of a verb depends on the gender and ( ) of the subject. If the subject is male and singular, then…… If no such word exists, how would you express this idea? Thanks.

In English the verb does not change based on gender. But the pronoun will change. Example; John was hungry so he bought a hamburger. Mary was hungry so she bought a hamburger.

Hi Raymond, You can use "grammatical number" to fill in the bracket. It refers to the concept of subject-verb agreement based on the singularity or plurality of nouns. Such an agreement also extends to pronouns and determiners. Hope this helps. Cheers, Lance
