What are irregular plural nouns?
While most nouns are easily made plural with a few simple changes, such as adding an “s” or “es” to the end of the word, there is one group of nouns that doesn’t seem to follow the rules. They’re called irregular nouns and you guessed it…they don’t become plural the “regular” way.
3
Examples of Irregular Plural NounsSome irregular nouns take on the plural form by first changing the last letter of the word before adding “s.” Words that end in “f” are a good example of this case. To make such a word plural, you change the “f” to “ve” and add an “s.”
