Hmm... interesting question. I'm not sure it is just adding an s, but there are some noun forms that are singular when they end in S, and are plural when they end with something else. One of these groups are many nouns that end in -US. For instance, "octopi" is plural, and "octopus" is singular. So, it isn't just adding an s, but the s is one indicator that it is singular. Adding an apostrophe s to any noun makes it possessive and therefore singular.
