If a word ends with an S, CH, SH, or X, we add "es." With some (but not all) words that end with O, we also add "es" to form the plural.

If a word ends in a consonant and then the letter Y, we change the Y to an I and then add ES. (If the word ends in a vowel and then the letter Y, it doesn't change.)
