ROOMZ/ɹuːmz/

2 meanings of rooms

Practice

  1. 1
    noun
    Plural of room.

    Movers carried the furniture between the empty rooms upstairs.

    The new wing added four conference rooms to the building.

    Note

    Only room in its countable uses takes this plural. The everyday "space" meaning is uncountable, so a car has room for five, never rooms for five, and the figurative "scope" meaning behaves the same way (room to improve). Shipbuilders count their rooms, though: the spaces between the timbers of a ship's frame.

  2. 2
    verb
    Third-person singular simple present indicative of room.

    My brother rooms with an old college friend in the city.

    Each season she rooms with a different teammate on road trips.

    Note

    Two verbs share this form. In the intransitive one, a person lodges as a tenant or boarder and usually rooms with someone. In the transitive one, a host or organizer rooms a guest, assigning that person a room. A following with points to the first; a direct object points to the second. Either way the spelling matches the noun plural, so context decides.
