tefilla - Prayer - singular vs plural


Why is that most/many of our prayers appear to be plural/National requests - shemoneh esreh-barech a leinu, shema koleinu etc. many yehi ratzon’s say “hashem elokeinu ve’lokei ovoseinu - where other prayers take on a more singular/personal requests like we find in morning Bracha “she’asa li Kol tzorki” or the yehi razton that follows there which is “hashem elokai ve’lokay ovosay”? What’s the formula to decide which is plural which is singular?
