The form of the word can sometimes tell you if the noun is singular or plural; the most common form to make a singular into a plural is to add an 's' or an 'es' to the end of the word. For example, coin to coins and house to houses.
Some nouns have an 'irregular plural', they don't just add the standard ending, they change the form of the word or have an unusual ending. For example, man to men, tooth to teeth, or datum to data.
Another way you can tell it is singular or plural is by the context of the sentence. For example, the word sheep is the singular and the plural form. In the sentence, 'The sheep all escaped from the pen.' In this sentence the noun sheepmust be plural because all (more than one) escaped.
'The sheep ate the grass that I gave him.' In this sentence sheep must be singular because the pronoun him is used and him is a singular pronoun (not the plural pronoun them).
