foot | feet

mouse | mice

goose | geese

sheep | sheep

ox | oxen

die | dice

Note: Some words have both a regular and irregular plural form, such as "fish" and "series".

Additional Examples of Irregular Nouns:

* People: person/people, baby/babies, parent/parents, brother/brothers, sister/sisters, child/children, woman/women, man/men

* Animals: goose/geese, mouse/mice, deer/deer, sheep/sheep, fish/fish (or fishes)

* Objects: tooth/teeth, foot/feet, ox/oxen, die/dice, knife/knives, loaf/loaves

Understanding irregular nouns requires memorization. It is helpful to consult a dictionary or online resources to confirm the plural forms of these words.
