English plurals... In England...
If word ends with a "ssh" sound, like kiss, dish, fish, etc. then in most cases you need es - kisses, fishes, dishes
If it doesn't then just add s: cat = cats; dog = dogs
Most words ending o need es: potato = potatoes
If a word ends with a y then usually the y will become an i and then you add es: cherry = cherries, lady = ladies.
If a word ends with an f then sometimes it will just have an s added (modern), but older people were taught to change the f to a v and then add es. Roof = roofs or rooves, dwarf = dwarfs or dwarves, hoof = hoofs or hooves.
This is not "tablets of stone". You can expect to find exceptions.

Just wanted to add something..."fish" can be the plural form of "fish" as well. "There are so many fish in the sea." - BradyLabuda, Jul 12, 2012
