children

/ˈtʃɪl.drən/

nounchil · dren

Think: a CHILD becomes CHILDREN—add “-ren” like you’re saying “CHILD + WREN” (a little bird) to remember the ending.

Yes, it's children. It’s an irregular plural: child → children (not *childs*). Remember the middle has “ld” and the ending is “-ren,” not “-ran” or “-ern.”
