No English words end in "you," except the word you, whose plural is you. If you mean words ending in -u, add s to make the plural: Bureaus, tutus, tabus etc.
You add "es" instead of "s" to plural nouns to make the words flow better For example: watch -> watches batch -> batches
natches. For words that end in -ch then add -es to make the plural form.watch - watchescatch - catchesmatch - matches
