irregular When something is called "irregular" in a language, it means that it does not follow the usual rule for something. For example, the verb "break" is called an irregular verb because its past tense is "broke" instead of "breaked." Most verbs in English follow the rule that "-ed" is added to a verb to make the past tense. The noun "sheep" is irregular because its plural form is "sheep" and not "sheeps." Most nouns in English make their plural form by adding "-s." [1/3 definitions]
