The singular form is normally used after numerals andstock phrases instead of plurals but both are considered correct grammatically. Thus, it would be more common to say "velejaren geleden" – many years ago; but "driejaar geleden" – "three years ago" or in "in de laatste paarjaar" as opposed to "in de laatste paar jaren" ("in the last couple of years").
