When adding 'es' to a word, you need to remember to add this suffix to words that end in 's,' 'x,' 'z,' 'ch,' or 'sh' to maintain the correct spelling and pronunciation.
The rule for adding "es" to words ending in s, x, sh, ch, and z is to add "es" to form the plural form of the word. For example, bus becomes buses, box becomes boxes, dish becomes dishes, church becomes churches, and quiz becomes quizzes.
To make "elf" plural, follow the spelling rule of replacing the final "f" with "v" and adding "es" to make it "elves."
Common nouns such as "box", "bus", and "bench" turn plural by adding "es" at the end.
The singular noun is quiz, and quizzes doubles the Zbefore adding -es. This is one of the many ways to form a plural in English, so it might or might not be called "irregular" (as are child-children, goose-geese).
The general rule for forming the plural of nouns ending in -o is to add -s (e.g., piano - pianos). However, if the noun ends in -o preceded by a vowel, you would add -s (e.g., zoo - zoos) or -es (e.g., potato - potatoes) to form the plural.

The "s rule" typically refers to the spelling rule that governs how s is used at the end of words. When a word ends in a vowel plus y, the plural form is created by simply adding an s (e.g., day → days). When a word ends in a consonant plus y, the plural form is created by changing the y to i and adding es (e.g., baby → babies).

Some examples are "fry" becomes "fries," "study" becomes "studies," and "cry" becomes "cries." These words follow the rule of changing the 'y' to 'i' and adding 'es' when making them plural or third person singular.
