When are nouns required to appear in the singular and plural? - Aber die Leute,die mir wirklich wichtig sind,mit denen habe ich immer noch sehr engen Kontakt. - Auch bei Entlassungswellen fällt hüufig weicher,wer sich auf gute Kontakte innerhalb des Unternehmens berufen kann. Kontakt in sentence 1 is singular; kontakte in sentence 2 is plural
Kontakt is an uncountable noun when it is interpreted as "connection, relation", which usually appears in the singular form and cannot be modified by the indefinite article ein;
But in German, uncountable nouns also have plural forms. The plural of uncountable nouns means the plural of kinds. Therefore, in the second sentence, gut kontakte refers to all kinds of different relations“
