This could lead to a more complicated answer than you're looking for. The most common English plural ending is just -s.
Ex.
piece -> pieces
pie -> pies
dog -> dogs
house -> houses
ant -> ants
axe -> axes
key -> heys
However, -es is used when pluralizing singular nouns that end in -s, -z, -sh, x, or -ch.
Ex.
mess -> messes
mantis -> mantises
hex -> hexes
buzz -> buzzes
bush -> bushes
lunch -> lunches
But watch out! If is ends in -us, the -us is replaced with -i to make it plural.
Ex.
radius -> radii
octopus -> octopi
Another alternate ending is -ves, used to pluralize singular nouns that end in -f or -fe. The "v" replaces the "f".
Ex.
leaf -> leaves
knife -> knives
handkerchief -> handkerchieves
In addition, nouns that describe things collectively require a word like "piece" if you want to indicate there is exactly one part of it. Otherwise, it always sounds plural.
Ex.
hair -> strand of hair
grass (of one species) -> blade of grass
meat -> piece of meat
fish -> a fish
Then, of course, there are exceptions to every rule
