Irregular Plurals<\/b><\/p>\n

Explanation: \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

An irregular plural noun is an irregular noun in the plural form. \u00a0An irregular noun is a noun that becomes plural by changing it\u2019s spelling in other ways than adding an \u201cs\u201d or \u201ces\u201d to the end of the word. This change can happen in a variety of ways. \u00a0Some irregular nouns take on the plural form by first changing the last letter of the word before adding \u201cs.\u201d Words that end in \u201cf\u201d are a good example of this case. To make such a word plural, you change the \u201cf\u201d to \u201cve\u201d and add an \u201cs.\u201d \u00a0Some irregular plural nouns have the same spelling as their singular form such as scissors, pants, bison, deer, and sheep. Some animal nouns become plural by keeping the same spelling as the singular form or by adding an s or es.<\/span><\/p>\n
