Which of those nouns mentioned above is plural and which one singular? Though I've already consulted a dictionary, I have to admit I am not any clearer.

Could you please provide me with some illustrative examples with the usage of each noun? It would be also great to offer an explanation to each word, I would appreciate it.Emotion: smile

Thanks in advance.

Then we write: "exams are" and "an exam is", right? And the same goes for examination and examinations with only the difference in formality?
