There's no general rule for forming the plural forms of words ending in -o. Many plural forms are formed by adding -es, e.g. tomato - tomatoes, potato - potatoes, hero - heroes. Other plurals are formed simply by adding -s, e.g. zero - zeros, memo - memos, hippo - hippos.
For some nouns ending in 'o' that are well-established in English, add 'es' to form the plural. For example:
For more modern nouns ending in 'o', add 's' only to form the plural. For example:
It depends on what letter precedes the 'o' at times. If it ends with the 'o' ( vowel) like patio and the 'o' has another vowel in front of it, just add a 's' to form the plural. If it has a consonant before the vowel 'o' then add -es at the end to form the plural as in potato-es.
Having said that you have to be aware than some nouns can take either a 's' or 'es' at the end to form the plural such as volcanos/volcanoes and zeros/zeroes.
The above is not complete or correct. The question is not so easily resolved. For example, tobacco-tobaccos is a consonant stem with no e in the plural. Perhaps the best rule is this: English words like tomato and potato generally take e in the plural, while foreign words, like taco and patio do not.
Unfortunately there is no simple rules for using 's' or 'es' to change nouns ending in 'o' into the plural form. How fortunate we are to live in the age of spell check, otherwise you need a hard copy dictionary or a good memory. Some examples are:
It depends. If there is an consonant before the 'o', then add es. If there is a vowel, then add s

Plural nouns are generally formed by adding "-s" to the end of the singular form, but there are exceptions like changing the spelling (e.g., "man" to "men") or using irregular forms (e.g., "child" to "children"). It's best to learn plural formations through practice and exposure to the language.
The general rule for forming the plural of singular nouns is to add -s to the end of the word. However, there are exceptions such as nouns that end in -s, -x, -z, -ch, or -sh, where you would add -es to form the plural. For irregular nouns, the plural form may change entirely (e.g., child becomes children).
Most nouns in English are made into plural nouns by adding an s to the singular form. If the noun ends with an s, ch, sh, or x, an es is added to make the noun plural. When a noun makes its plural form in any other way we speak of irregular plural forms ie. policeman/policemen mouse/mice Hope this helps!
