PRESENTATION OF THE MODULE

Irregular plural nouns are nouns that do not become plural by adding -s
or -es, as most nouns in the English language do. You’re probably
familiar with many of these already.

For example, the plural form of man is men, not mans.

The plural form of woman is women, not womans.

 Nouns ending in -f and -fe

To make a plural of a word ending in -f, change the f to a v and add es.
Similarly, if a word ends in -fe, change the f to a v and add an s. The
result for both types is a plural that ends in -ves.

Example: Singular (-f, -fe) Plural (-ves)

knife knives
wife wives
calf calves
  Nouns Ending in -o
Plurals of words ending in -o are usually made by adding -es.
Example: Singular (-o) Plural (-oes)
potato potatoes
tomato tomatoes

 Nouns That Change Vowels

Many English words become plural by changing their vowels,
such as oo to ee or an to en.

Example: Singular: Plural (vowel change):

foot feet
tooth teeth
man men
woman women

 Irregular Nouns That Change Substantially

For a variety of historical reasons, some words change in
spelling substantially when made plural.

Example: Singular: Plural:

mouse mice
child children
person people

 Irregular Nouns That Do Not Change At All When Made

Plural
Some English nouns are identical in both the singular and the
plural forms. Many of these are names for animals.

Singular/ Plural (no change)

sheep
deer
moose
 Example: * I have seen several deer when walking in the
woods near here.
* How many shrimp did you catch?
