Today Patricia and Teresa talk about generalizations in English. Most commonly, the plural is used to make generalizations. There are times when a singular example can be used but the plural is most likely the best choice.

Examples:

Vitamins and nutrients are vital for good health.

Fruit is delicious.

A koala is a marsupial.

A rattlesnake is a poisonous snake.

Riding a bike is good for your health.
