Can Premise Be Plural?

Premises are land and buildings together considered as a property. ... Note that a single house or a single other piece of property is "premises", not a "premise", although the word "premises" is plural in form; e.g. "The equipment is on the customer's premises", never "The equipment is on the customer's premise".

How do you say multiple premises?

A "premise" is part of an argument or theory. The plural of "premise" is "premises." This causes confusion because the word "premises" also means land or property.

Can you say premises?

While “premises” is a plural noun, it's often used with a singular verb. So people might write or say “premises is” as well as “premises are,” and “premises was” as well as “premises were.”
