Could you please let me know the plural form of "parents"? Such as if I want to talk about more than one parents like as "Many parents (or ?) ..."
Thank you so much!

Re: What are you up to?

'Parents' is plural.

Some children have only one parent.

I am going to visit my parents this evening

I have met the parents of most of the children in my class
.

Many parents worry too much about their children.

Please give your threads a more helpful title.

I have just learned that "parent" is "dad or mum" but "parents" is "dad and mum", isn't it?
I should have solved this myself using a dictionary. Thank you!
