A regular plural noun is a noun that forms the plural by adding an -s or an -es to the end of the word.
An irregular plural noun is a noun that forms the plural in some other way. The English language uses many words originating from many different languages and some of the plural forms from those languages have stayed with those words. Some examples of irregular plural nouns are:
singular -> plural
It means that the plural form of a word does not follow the typical pattern of adding "-s" or "-es" at the end of a word. Examples include irregular plurals like "children" (instead of "childs") and "sheep" (same for singular and plural).
The medical terminology combining form meaning "formation" is "-plasia."
No, "means" is already the plural form of "mean." It refers to methods or resources used to achieve a goal, so "means" already conveys plural meaning.
If the verb is plural, it will NOT have an s at the end. The noun will have an s at the end but the verb won't. Example: The girls run. Now, if noun is singular, it won't have an s, but the verb will. Example: The girl runs. There are some irregular verbs, but in general, most verbs follow this rule of thumb. :)
