To form the plural of a noun ending in an 's', 'z', 'sh', 'ch', or any other sibilant ('s') sound, you add '-es'. The pronunciation of the letter 'x' ends in an 's' sound, therefore you add '-es' to the word. For example: Box, boxes.
The plural of the letter X is Xs or X's (the apostrophe is still allowable under some style guides, and you can use X's if there is a chance of confusion with other symbols).

Singular means one. Plural means more than one. To form a plural noun, we usually (but not always) add the letter -s to the end of the singular word. Some examples of singular nouns and their corresponding plural forms are:desk - desksgirl - girlsbowl- bowlskey - keysWhen the singular word ends with s, tch, sh, x, z, we form the plural by adding -es to the singular noun. Some examples of singular nouns with -es endings to form plural nouns are:kiss - kisseswatch - watchesdish - dishesWhen the singular word ends with a -y following a consonant, we take away the -y and add -ies to form the plural noun. Some examples of singular nouns ending in -y following a consonant are:baby - babiescountry- countriesdaddy - daddiesSome singular nouns have irregular plural forms. We can memorize these plural nouns. Some examples of singular nouns with their irregular plural forms are:child- childrenappendix - appendicesSome singular nouns and plural forms look the same; they do not make any changes in the plural form. Some examples of singular nouns and their plurals are:deer - deerfish - fish
