@quoils_ thank you! Even in native speakers, do they have different thoughts about a field of sports “competition” and a field of sports “competitions”?

@Oreo-dog
When you type “competition “ that would be plural, but “competitions” is added with a suffix “s”
Competition ( without the “ s” It’s just a singular competition)
Competitions ( So this means more than one competition)
