Out of the top of my head:

For nouns ending in a vowel, add -s to the singular form.

For nouns ending in a consonant, add -es to the singular form.

If the noun ends in a z then the z becomes a c in the plural. E.g. el pez -> los peces.

Where does the plural of el paraguas fit in there. There are a lot more rules than those. - 0074b507, Nov 30, 2011
I know. My plan was to add a comment like 'off the top of my head'. This must have slipped my mind somehow. I'll rectify - S1r_Wakka, Dec 2, 2011
