Yes, there are nouns that are plural with no singular form.

One group of words that have no singular form are aggregate nouns, words representing an indefinite number of elements or parts.

These aggregate nouns have no singular form:

  • accommodations
  • amends
  • archives
  • arms (weapons)
  • bowels
  • brains (intellect)
  • clothes
  • communications
  • congratulations
  • contents
  • corps
  • goods
  • intestines
  • measles
  • news
  • species
  • thanks

Another group of nouns are the binary nouns, words for things that are two parts making up the whole, they are a shortened form for 'a pair of', for example:

  • one pair of glasses, two pairs of glasses
  • bellows
  • binoculars
  • forceps
  • jeans
  • pajamas
  • pants
  • pliers
  • shears
  • shorts
  • scissors
  • tights
  • tongs
  • trousers
  • tweezers
