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:

  • child -> children
  • foot -> feet
  • goose -> geese
  • man -> men
  • mouse -> mice
  • ox -> oxen
  • tooth -> teeth
  • woman -> women
