I didn't realize there were only three words using en as plural. Great idea for next trivia match!

Why english is so hard? We’ll start with a box, And the plural is boxes. But the plural of ox Should be oxen not oxes. A poem we learned from 6th grade. Share ko lang.

MissMochaLatte, I would suggest that that women is the plural of woman and that makes a fourth.

Jolene.carthy, I thought of that too. As is 'men' but then these are a change from man to men, which is a change of an to en and not an added EN on the singular word.

MissMochaLatte, there’s technically four but some say three children, oxen, n then the forms for brother and sister can be considered as one I’m guessing but to me it two brethren and sistren. I do want to say thank you so much for bringing more knowledge into my mind for this I did not know about at all. I also agree with you awesome trivia question!

I was taught that oxen are a different species within the family of animals. buffalo oxen, cattle are only three of this family but in other parts of the world there are others that are similar and in the same family.
