| Your question is not clear. A woman -singular, women -plural. There is 1 woman at the table. There are 3 women at the table. The woman's husband is here, too. The women's husbands are here, too. |

| you know it is so in some languages, like persian. but in english, it is not so for the words that change their form after becoming plural. for example we say: book...........books teacher.......teachers but woman........women man............men |
