What is the Plural Form of Foot?

The correct plural form of Foot is Feet.

• You should never say or write 'Foots'. That is grammatically incorrect.
• Example (Singular): "I hurt my right foot playing football."
• Example (Plural): "After walking ten miles, both of my feet were incredibly sore."

The word 'Foot' is an irregular plural noun. This means it does not follow the normal, standard English rule of adding an '-s'. Instead of adding a letter to the end of the word, we completely change the vowels inside the word (changing the double 'oo' to a double 'ee').

This vowel-changing rule applies to a few other common body parts and animals in English:

• Tooth $\rightarrow$ Teeth (Not Tooths)
• Goose $\rightarrow$ Geese (Not Gooses)
• Man $\rightarrow$ Men (Not Mans)
• Woman $\rightarrow$ Women

The word 'foot' is also used as a unit of measurement (1 foot = 12 inches). The plural rule remains exactly the same.

• Correct: "The wall is six feet tall."
• Exception: However, when used as an adjective directly before a noun, it stays singular. For example: "I bought a six-foot ladder." (Not a six-feet ladder).
