English nouns with only a plural form
Certain English nouns only have a plural form. Their form is always plural, never singular.
There are 3 types of nouns where the form is always plural:
1) Certain articles of clothing.
trousers
knickers
pyjamas
shorts
tights
pants
Example:
I like your trousers.
2) Certain tools or instruments.

glasses
Examples:

We use the following structure for ONE unit (singular) of the clothes and tools previously mentioned:
"pair of" + noun
Example: I need a pair of shorts.
We use the following structure for several units (plural):
"pairs of" + noun
Example: I am going to buy 3 pairs of scissors.
3) Other nouns with only a plural form
belongings
Example: "Do not leave your belongings in the classroom."
savings
Example: "I spent my savings on a new car."
clothes

stairs
Example: To go to the first floor, you can take the stairs.
There are many more examples with a detailed explanation in the video. The accent is a British English accent.
