Plural nouns that change the word to a new form are called irregular plurals. Some examples are:

  • cactus becomes cacti
  • city becomes cities
  • elf becomes elves
  • goose becomes geese
  • foot becomes feet
  • man becomes men
  • mouse becomes mice
  • ox becomes oxen

A regular plural is a noun that forms its plural by adding an 's' or an 'es' to the end of the word (apple to apple, lunch to lunches).
