Irregular Plural Nouns

Introduction
Nouns refer to a person, place, thing, event, substance or quality.

The plural form is used to indicate that there is more than one person, animal, place or thing.
Some nouns do not follow the rules, they are irregular and their plural is formed differently.

Form
Nouns with irregular plural form do not become plural by adding -s or -es. There are no rules
explaining how the plurals of these nouns are formed, we just have to learn these words and
their plural forms by heart. The most commonly used nouns with irregular plural forms are:

Singular Plural
child children
foot feet
man men
mouse mice
person people
tooth teeth
woman women

Example
We have three children.
My feet are sore.
There are some men outside the house.
There are three mice in the barn.
They are such nice people.
She has vey straight teeth.
They are very beautiful women.

Use
We use irregular plurals in the same way as regular ones, but they are formed differently.

Related
Irregular plural nouns are not formed according to the same rules as the formation of plural
nouns [1]. Similar to plural nouns [1], irregular plural is also used with countable nouns [2].
