use of grammar in a language to express number
Grammatical number is a system that languages use in their grammar to show whether something is singular (one) or plural (more than one), and sometimes other quantities. It matters because it helps speakers and writers communicate clearly about how many things or people they're talking about.

In linguistics, grammatical number is a feature, in many languages, of nouns, pronouns, adjectives and verb agreement that expresses count distinctions (such as "one", "two" or "three or more"). English and many other languages present number categories of singular or plural. Some languages also have a dual, trial and paucal number or other arrangements.
The word "number" is also used in linguistics to describe the distinction between certain grammatical aspects that indicate the number of times an event occurs, such as the semelfactive aspect, the iterative aspect, etc. For that use of the term, see "Grammatical aspect".
