Irregular Plural Nouns Worksheet - ALL ESL - Free Printable

Let's solve the task of converting each singular noun to its irregular plural form. Irregular plural nouns do not follow the standard rules (like adding -s or -es), so they must be memorized.

Here’s the list with the correct irregular plural forms:

---

1. Man → Men
2. Foot → Feet
3. Tooth → Teeth
4. Mouse → Mice
5. Person → People *(Note: "Person" is often used in formal contexts; "People" is the plural, though it's a collective noun)*
6. Deer → Deer *(Same in singular and plural)*
7. Child → Children
8. Woman → Women
9. Quiz → Quizzes *(This one is regular, but sometimes considered irregular due to spelling change — however, "quizzes" is standard)*
- Wait: Actually, "quiz" is regular → quizzes, but some might expect quizes (incorrect). The correct plural is quizzes.
10. Tuna → Tuna *(Often used as both singular and plural, e.g., "tuna fish" or "tuna" for multiple pieces. But technically, "tunas" can be used, though rare. In common usage, "tuna" is uncountable. However, in this context, likely expecting "tunas" or just "tuna". Let's go with tunas as the plural form.)*

Now the second half:

11. Bacterium → Bacteria
12. Crisis → Crises
13. Series → Series *(Same in singular and plural)*
14. Index → Indices *(or "indexes", both acceptable, but "indices" is more formal)*
15. Fungus → Fungi
16. Cactus → Cacti *(or "cactuses", but "cacti" is the Latin-derived irregular plural)*
17. Auto → Autos *(Regular plural, but commonly used as an irregular form — actually, "autos" is acceptable and common, though not strictly irregular. But since it's listed here, we’ll accept Autos as the plural.)*
18. Album → Albums *(Regular plural — but sometimes people think it's irregular. Actually, it's regular: add -s)*
19. Analysis → Analyses
20. Formula → Formulas *(Both "formulas" and "formulae" are used; "formulas" is American English, "formulae" is British. Since the word is given in English, and no style guide specified, we'll use formulas as the most common modern plural.)*
