Hey there, my friend! Great question. Let's talk about the word "parents" and whether it's a plural or not.
First, let's define what a plural is. In grammar, a plural word refers to more than one person, place, or thing. For example, if you have two apples, you would say "I have two apples" (notice the plural "apples").
Now, let's look at the word "parents." The word "parent" refers to one person who has a child or children. But when you add an "s" to the end, it becomes "parents," which means more than one parent.
So, to answer your question, "parents" is indeed a plural word because it refers to more than one parent. If you're talking about just one parent, you would use the singular form "parent."
I hope that helps clarify things for you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
