§ 10 Number And Plural Rules
This law says that when a word is written in singular form, it also means the plural form, and when it's written in plural, it also means the singular.
A lease says "tenant must keep the garden clean." Even though it says "tenant" (singular), it also applies to multiple tenants living together.
Because of this law, the word "tenant" covers both one tenant and many tenants, so everyone in the house must keep the garden clean.
