In English, almost all nouns form their plural form by adding -s to the singular form (book > books). A handful of these, ending in -f, change the -f to a -v as well (calf > calves).
Exactly seven English nouns form the plural by changing a vowel:
foot > feet
goose > geese
louse > lice
man > men
mouse > mice
tooth > teeth
woman > women
And three add -en instead of -s:
brother > brethren (archaic form, no longer used)
child > children
ox > oxen
A number of nouns that refer to animals have no distinct plural form at all:
deer > deer
fish > fish
moose > moose
quail > quail
(etc.)
Then there are a number of nouns borrowed from Latin or Greek, whose plurals in English are the same as in their original language:
(from Latin):
appendix > appendices
genus > genera
radius > radii
...etc.
(from Greek):
analysis > analyses
phenomenon > phenomena
...etc.
