But some nouns are special. They are called <span data-no-translation>irregular plural nouns<\/span>.<\/strong> These words do not follow the normal rule. Instead, they change their form in different ways. For example, <span data-no-translation>one man<\/span> becomes <span data-no-translation>two men<\/span>, not <span data-no-translation>two mans<\/span>. Another example is <span data-no-translation>one child<\/span> becoming <span data-no-translation>two children<\/span>. There is no simple rule for these words, so it is important to learn them one by one. Understanding irregular plurals helps you speak and write English correctly from the start. This lesson will show you the most common irregular plural nouns.<\/div>\n<h2>What are regular plural nouns?<\/h2>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s remember how most English nouns become plural.
