Some nouns ending with an 'o' preceded by a consonant add 'es' to the end of the word to form the plural; for example:

  • tomato - tomatoes
  • potato - potatoes
  • hero - heroes
  • echo - echoes
  • buffalo - buffaloes
  • mosquito - mosquitoes

Most nouns ending with an 'o' simply add 's' to the end of the word to form the plural; for example:

  • zero - zeros
  • zoo - zoos
  • studio - studios
  • radio - radios
  • avacado - avacados
  • auto - autos

The word "tomato" becomes plural with an "es" because in English, most nouns ending in "o" form their plurals by adding "es" instead of just "s".
