Yes, there is a difference between “gentleman” and “gentlemen”:
- Gentleman is the singular form, referring to one man who is courteous, respectful, or of high social standing. It can also refer to a man with good manners and refined behavior.
Example: “He is a true gentleman.”
- Gentlemen is the plural form, referring to more than one man who are considered courteous, respectful, or of high social standing.
Example: “The gentlemen at the table are discussing business.”
So, the main difference is that “gentleman” refers to a single individual, while “gentlemen” refers to multiple individuals.
