spirit vs. spirits

[Vishvajeetchatterjee]

HI, can any body tell me the difference between 'spirit' and 'spirits'. While writing 'hope this letter finds you in the best of your health and spirit or spirits'. Thanks.

[Molly]

"In good spirits" is the expression you need there.

[MrPedantic]

Hello Vish, welcome to English Test.

"In the best of health and spirits" would be suitable there.

Your "spirits" = your "mood".

Best wishes,

MrP

Here are two common expressions:

to be in good spirits

[Torsten]

The singular form of spirit is used in various contexts such as the brand name of Coca Cola's new soft drink The Spirit of Georgia.
