What are irregular plural nouns in English?

Irregular plurals are special forms that some nouns take when they mean more than one. Usually, when we want to make a noun plural, we just add an 's' or 'es' to the end of it: cat becomes cats, or dog becomes dogs. 

However, there are some words in English that don't follow this rule. Instead of adding 's' or 'es,' they change in a different way altogether. These words are called irregular plurals.
