Irregular Plural Nouns Worksheet - Practice writing and identifying irregular plural forms of nouns.

Let's solve this step-by-step.

---

Part A: Write the plural forms of the nouns given below.

We need to write the correct irregular plural forms for each noun.

1. Woman → Women
*(Irregular plural – "woman" becomes "women")*

2. Tooth → Teeth
*(Irregular plural – "tooth" becomes "teeth")*

3. Shelf → Shelves
*(Regular plural with -s, but note: "shelf" is regular; however, some might think it's irregular, but actually it follows standard rules. But since it's listed here, we use "shelves.")*
✔ Shelves

4. Salmon → Salmon
*(This is an irregular noun that remains the same in plural form. E.g., "one salmon", "two salmon")*
✔ Salmon

5. Moose → Moose
*(Another noun that doesn't change in plural form)*
✔ Moose

6. Mouse → Mice
*(Irregular plural – "mouse" becomes "mice")*

7. Deer → Deer
*(Same as singular; no change in plural)*
✔ Deer

8. Foot → Feet
*(Irregular plural – "foot" becomes "feet")*

9. Loaf → Loaves
*(Regular plural with -s, but often confused. "Loaf" becomes "loaves")*
✔ Loaves

10. Sheep → Sheep
*(Same in singular and plural)*
✔ Sheep

Part B: Underline the correct irregular plural noun for each sentence.

Now, choose the correct plural form from the options.

1. Betty went to school with many other childs/children.
✔ children
*(“Child” becomes “children” — irregular)*

2. Look at your feet/foots! They are filthy.
✔ feet
*(“Foot” → “feet”, not “foots”)*

3. Many peoples/people will attend the ceremony.
✔ people
*(“People” is already plural. “Peoples” refers to different ethnic groups, not individuals. Here, it’s about people attending, so “people” is correct.)*

4. Brush your teeth/tooths before going to bed.
✔ teeth
*(“Tooth” → “teeth” — irregular)*

5. The calfs/calves were grazing around the farm.
✔ calves
*(“Calf” → “calves” — irregular)*

6. My mother bought me two new scarfs/scarves.
✔ scarves
*(“Scarf” → “scarves” — regular plural, but “scarfs” is sometimes used informally, but “scarves” is standard and preferred.)*
