singular nouns ending in -s

[UM Chakma]

As we know the words about clothes " jeans and pants " are grammatically plurals and do not have singular forms.So how do we use them in spoken usage? If I say "she spilt drink on her jean" I know it's wrong.Then how should I use them.In short, what I want to know is how to use them in the language?

You'd say "on her jeans". If you want to speak of a single piece, you say "a pair of jeans".

Hello, UM Chakma.:-D
I'm not really sure if I understand your question correctly.
Could it be "...on one leg of her jeans."?

I just want to know how to use both words in both singular and plural.

You don't use them as singular.

You can speak of your jeans or a pair of jeans.

For more than one pair, you can still say my jeans or say my pairs of jeans.

I could point to a pile of pants (many pairs) and say "whose pants are these?"

I could also be holding just one pair and ask the same question.
