Why do you need to add s?
An "s" forms the plural of most English nouns, e.g. bird, birds. When nouns end in "o" or "s", they form the plural with "es" (potatoes, mosses). The "apostophe s" is used to indicate possessives, e.g. Bill's job, the boss's wife. Plural possessives also use the apostrophe, but omit the "s", e.g. his brothers' company.
