D. EXPLANATION

Read the following irregular nouns. Then observe how the


second word is written.
Ox - oxen
a. Octopus – Octopi
b. Foot – Feet
c. Child – Children
d. Goose - Geese
When the singular word becomes plural, it does not end with
“s” or “es”, but it changes with their spelling.

Some irregular plural nouns have the same spelling in both


their singular and plural forms such as:
scissor – scissors
pant _ pants
bison - bison
deer - deer
sheep - sheep

The plural form of frequently occurring irregular nouns refers to more


than one person, place, animal, thing idea, or event. Irregular nouns are
made plural by changing vowels changing the word, or adding a different
ending.
