What the difference between “gate” in singular and “gates” in plural? In each case English spoken people use “gate” in singular and “gates” in plural?
Thanks a lot,
Lina

Maybe you are confused because people might refer to "the gates" when they really mean a set or pair of gates in one gateway; each bit that swings open might be called a gate.
Otherwise could you give an example that seems unclear to you?

A gate is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or an opening in a fence.
Gates is multiple entry points.
Gates is also surname.

When you say gate, it means just one gate. When you say gates it means more than one gate. Do you get it? Sorry, I'm not good at explaining.

It's the same as in door and doors.
