Grammatical question on Plurals?

Question

Why the "S".
There is a difference in the noun when there is one OBJECT to two OBJECTS.
There is no difference in the noun between two OBJECTS and a squillion OBJECTS.
Why keep the plural law in grammar?

Answer 1

When it comes to linguistic questions, there's often no good answer to the question "Why?" Languages develop in all sorts of ways and a lot of these grammatical constructions are historical. I imagine English has separate plural constructions because of Latin and Greek, though we've gotten rid of a lot of the separate grammatical forms in those languages.

Incidentally, other languages (such as Chinese) do not have a way of indicating a plural noun; you say "my child" and "my children" the same way, so the only way to figure it out is from context.

Answer 2

My first language, Hungarian, is unique in that you don't put the noun in the plural if you clearly indicate the number, e.g., if you say "100 dog" or "a few cow", everybody knows you talk about more than just one dog or cow... so why use the plural? It would be redundant.
However, if you don't indicate the number you should use either the singular or the plural form of the noun so that they know whether you mean one or several.

Answer 3

i don't know i believe in general terms that is how we think 1 or more than!
An object
some objects
2 objects
's' signifies that you are referring to a 'number of' instead of 'just one'.
for example; if I pronounce the sentence verbally without writing,
" His object? "
"His objects?"
are different questions intirely.

Answer 4

so people know if you are talking about more than 1 object/animal however it becomes truly wierder when you are talking about fish or sheep for example (1 sheep 2 sheep)
