Note
A regular -s plural that belongs only to the noun. The adjective current, as in the current year or current fashion, never takes an ending. The plural follows the countable uses: ocean currents, the currents of a river, rival currents of opinion when the word means tendencies. Electric current is often treated as a mass noun, yet separate flows can still be counted, as in two currents in one circuit.
