Number is a property of some words and it indicates whether we speak of one or more objects or people, or whether one or more people are involved in a particular action.
Number is a property of mainly nouns and verbs, and it is expressed by means of different endings.
In Spanish the formation of the plural of nouns is similar to English. We need to add an additional ending to the words in order to express the idea of plural. It is passed on to those other words that come in contact with the noun in question. Verbs are the words that express action or development. Verbs change, then, to indicate if one or several people take place in the action.
