Can I use conditional statements with EJS templates (in JMVC)?

Question

and if yes, what is the syntax? My goal is to prepend an 's' to the word 'comment' when there is more than one. in an jQuery.ejs template in a JMVC app. The following breaks. I can't find any docs for conditionals...

<%=commentsNumber%> comment<% if (commentsNumber > 1) { %> s <% } %>

For others that stumble on this, you can also use ejs params/props in conditional statements:

recipes.js File:

app.get("/recipes", function(req, res) {
    res.render("recipes.ejs", {
        recipes: recipes
    });
});

recipes.ejs File:

<%if (recipes.length > 0) { %>
// Do something with more than 1 recipe
<% } %>
