📚 Topic Summary
Irregular plurals are words that don't follow the normal rules for making something plural (more than one). Usually, you just add an 's' to the end of a word to make it plural, like 'cat' becomes 'cats'. But irregular plurals change in different ways. For example, 'child' becomes 'children,' and 'mouse' becomes 'mice.' These words have special rules you need to learn!
