Question Mum

Hello,
This sentence, "Mum is buying things"
"s" is to indicate plural? if "s" does'nt in that sentence, it mean mum is buying thing in singular. Am i Right?

Default Re: Mum

Right, but you'll need to make that singular noun clear. Like this,

Mum is buying something.
Mum is buying a thing for the car.
