2. कुछ ऐसे Nouns जिनके अंत में 's' लगा होता है [ अर्थात् स्वरूप में Plural हैं] Singular होते हैं-

Name of some subjects- Civics, Economics, Physics, Mechanics, Mathematics, Ethics, Linguistics, Phonetics, Politics, Statistics,

Name of some disease- Measles, Mumps, Rickets, Diabetes, Rabies, shingles,

Name of some games- Gymnastics, Athletics, Billiards, Darts, Droughts,

Name of some countries- The United States, Wales, Athens,

Name of some things- News, Innings, summons

Note:- ये Nouns Uncountable है। अतः इनके पहले न तो 'a/an' का प्रयोग होता है और न ही इनके साथ 's/es' जोड़कर इनका Plural बनाया जाता है;
